Today, multi-platinum Artiste and Afrobeat superstar Davido released his newest track dubbed ‘Stand Strong’ featuring The Samples Choir, the vocal group known for their world-renowned projects including Kanye West’s Sunday Service movement via Columbia/RCA.

The ‘Stand Strong’ record is the first offering from Davido’s highly anticipated studio album scheduled for release later this year.

Grounded in a powerful base of African percussion, ‘Stand Strong’ delivers a spirited and optimistic anthem for our times, showcasing Davido’s musical evolution and offering an exciting glimpse at what is to come for his global fans.

The new track plays like a heartening 3-minute conversation of survival and battered optimism between Davido and his musical choral collaborators The Samples, understanding that the world we live in provides challenges but there is ultimate strength in love if we stand strong.

The uplifting track, produced by Pheelz can be streamed right below;


The ‘Stand Strong’ record arrives on the heels of an array of high-profile releases in 2022 for Davido, including the global smash, ‘Hayya Hayya (Better Together)’ taken right from the FIFA Official World Cup Soundtrack and his critically acclaimed collaborations with Skales on the ‘This Is Your Body’ hit record and Adekunle Gold on their multi-million streaming hit, ‘High’.
