1. Deal with Sony Music Entertainment / RCA Records

Davido has signed with RCA Records, an extension of his deal with Sony Music Entertainment

Davido can capitalise on his deal with the renowned music distribution company while it’s hot. Since the announcement of the deal in January, the singer hasn’t dominated the airwaves with new music, instead choosing to focus more on his new signees, Mayourkunand Dremo.

2. International collaborations

Davido and Tinashe’s new music to hit the airwaves soon.

Promised collaborations with Young Thug, Trey Songz and Tinashe has put the singer in good stead on the international front. The buzz of his collaborative efforts have however started cooling off, with colleagues like Wizkid starting to dominate the airwaves with new releases.

3. Collaboration with Wizkid

Davido has formed a good friendship with erstwhile rival, Wizkid: NET.ng

Wizkid is Africa’s golden boy at the moment, and Davido can very well thrive off their newfound friendship. After initially battling as rivals, the duo have made up and shared the stage together on many occasions. A collaboration (which has already been teased) would do well for both stars right now.

4. The disappointment that was Omo Baba Olowo

Davido’s debut album, Omo Baba Olowo was met with lukewarm reception

Davido needs to erase the disappointment of his mediocre debut studio album, Omo Baba Olowo and prove he can produce a solid body of work. Much of the delay of a follow up since the album’s release in 2012 has been attributed to the singer’s fear of failing to craft an album worthy of replay value.

5. Diverse subject matter

Davido has taken up a fatherhood role since his baby, Imade’s arrival

Davido’s music has been known to suffer a lack of diverse subject matter. He can change all that with a album that touches topics such as the challenges of raising his daughter Imade (and no, we don’t mean calling Dele Momodu his boy), the in-house direction with his signed acts, and even on his decision to sponsor some students with his proposed scholarship scheme.
