Award-winning afro-beat sensation DAVIDO is poised to release his first UK single on March 17. Far from a newcomer, Davido is not only a superstar in his native country of Nigeria but is one of Africa’s biggest stars selling over 3 million copies of his debut album ‘O.B.O’ to date. The 21-year old is continuing the afro-beat invasion in the UK by kicking off 2014 with the release of his insanely infectious ‘Skelewu’.
Already a No.1 smash on the UK club charts, ‘Skelewu’ (which is the name of a dance) is produced by prolific Nigerian hit maker ‘Shizzi’. The record has already enjoyed massive online success with the video reaching over 2 million hits and a YouTube dance competition attracting thousands of entrants including one from African Premiership striker Emmanuel Adebayor!
‘Skelewu’ is arguably the biggest Afro-beat track currently on UK radio right now, earning play-list spots on BBC Radio 1Xtra, Bang FM and is currently sitting comfortably on the Capital Xtra Afrobeats chart. The track is also receiving huge support from UK radio stations and clubs right across the country.
‘Skelewu’ by DAVIDO is out on iTunes on March 17 via HKN Records.
