Dancehall starlet Shenseea, now riding high with the remix of Shake It to the Max featuring Ghanaian-American singer Moliy, Skillibeng, and Silent Addy, delivered a head-turning moment with a surprise cameo at Davido’s album listening party in Los Angeles. The Jamaican songstress not only graced the stage but gave fans an exclusive preview of her unreleased collaboration with the Afrobeats heavyweight, sparking intense anticipation for 5ive, Davido’s fifth studio album, due out April 18.
“Thanks for having me @davido, the project is fire. 5ive — April 18,” Shenseea shared via social media after the event, where the crowd’s reaction to their performance signalled approval. Known for her genre-bending flair and sultry delivery, the Jamaican hitmaker continues to build momentum globally. Her current streaming stats speak volumes: Shenseea boasts over 6.4 million monthly Spotify listeners and has amassed millions of YouTube views across her discography. With past collaborations alongside superstars like Kanye West (Pure Souls) and Tyga (Blessed), she’s become one of the most sought-after Caribbean artists in the international arena.
Davido’s decision to tap Shenseea and fellow Jamaican singer 450 for his forthcoming album further signals a strategic and culturally rich fusion between Afrobeats and dancehall, two genres rooted in storytelling and rhythm. “Jamaican and Caribbean culture mean so much to me,” Davido said in a recent appearance on the Bootleg Kev podcast, underscoring the personal and creative connection behind the project. With previous albums like A Better Time racking up millions of streams, Davido continues to prove his mastery in blending sounds that resonate worldwide.
From Kingston to Lagos, her influence is undeniable—and if the sneak peek at Davido’s listening party is any indication, her next move might just be her most impactful yet. As 5ive nears its release, all eyes are on this cross-continental collaboration to elevate the soundscape of global pop culture.
