2020 has been a great year indeed. New albums from Wiz, Olamide, Tiwa Savage, Adekunle Gold, Fire boy to mention a few, and now Davido? — wow, what an amazing year 2020 is. It’s always a great pleasure when we’re surrounded by so many thorough projects all in one setting. Yes, it can be overwhelming sometimes, but no one complains about a plethora of new music?
Less than a year after the release of global smash ‘A Good Time’, Davido releases his 4th body of work titled, “ A Better Time” – even as one tune has become a protest song.
The 17-track album features international artistes such as Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Young Thug, Nas, Lil Baby, Hitboy, Sauti Sol, Mugeez and Sho Madjozi, and Nigerian celebrities such as Tiwa Savage, Mayorkun, C Kay and Bella Shmurda.
Speaking on the album, Davido said in spite of the happenings of 2020, he found hope of a better time: “I won’t keep you any longer. This year we’ve been through crazy times. Real crazy times. And through it all, we’ve all had to look inwards to find our unique hopes of better times ahead. I found a few. In human form and creative form. I’m so glad I can finally share them with you. I present to you ‘A Better Time’”
“A Better Time” is coming a year after his second studio album, “A Good Time”, was released.
Davido recorded the album after his tour was cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. “I got back in the studio, and funny enough, I was making better music than I had previously dropped, and we just kept going,” he told Rolling Stone.
“My sophomore album was called A Good Time, so, obviously, A Better Time, it’s a better album. I took my time. Better visuals, better production, everything as a whole package.”
Hours before the album was released, Twitter ng decided to trend “A better thrash” and this is speculated to be because of the fan war between Wizkid FC and Davido’s fans.
Let’s take it to the streets of Twitter to see what people are saying about Davido’s newest album, “A Better Time”
“Mehn! @davido vex .. this is a damn good album.. cheeee! #ABetterTime”
“Una too dey lie. The Album isn’t a damn good album! Say the truth no hate. Lots of noise and my eardrums are hurting when I listen to it. I didn’t listen to Fem coz I know it’s a noise. The other 16 almost damage my eardrums”
“Omo this album reach to make person lose him home training 🤬🔥🔥#ABetterTime”
“Need a protest song? Take FEM

Gospel song? Inject FADE

“After listening to Burna, Wizkid n Davido’s album this year, all i can say is I’m glad that they’re all Twice as Tall, they r all Made in Lagos so let’s just hope for A Better Time from them as they keep blessing us with sounds that give us joy #ABT_THEALBUM #ABetterTime”
“After all said and done, no matter what you want to say;
This is the Ultimate Truth.
To think other wise is to lie to yourself.
#MadeinLagos has songs that’ll still be valid in 10,30,40 years from now, song from #ABetterTime wouldn’t be valid in 2 years time.”
