Teni The Entertainer teams up with Davido in new single ‘For You’
…as fans await release of debut album on March 19th
Teni The Entertainer, the award-winning Nigerian talent, has joined forces with Davido, the Afrobeats superstar, on a new single and an emotion-tinged slice of Afrobeats titled ‘For You’. The new single sees the two Nigerian music acts trade pitch-perfect vocals among poignant acoustic production.
Aptly reflected in the similarly touching official video where fans see Teni The Entertainer stuck behind bars before her best friend, Davido breaks her out - but not without consequences. The track features on her debut album ‘Wondaland’, which is set to be released in a few weeks. It was crafted over two years ago, across six cities - London, New York, Orlando, Ondo, Lagos and Abuja; and boasts of an LP. The new single is equally a labour of love and a rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish.
According Teni The Entertainer, “For You is a record I made to celebrate the essence of love, sacrifice and the reaffirmation to always be there for that special someone who means the world to you. I have always wanted to make a record like this with Davido because of my admiration for him as an artiste, father and someone with a big heart.”
On the other hand, Davido, one of the biggest and most influential artistes in Africa, said, “This is a special record and as a father to three beautiful children, I know how much they mean to me and how I am ready to give them everything good the world has to offer”.
Teni The Entertainer, whose real name Teniola Apata, is an awardwinning Nigerian songwriter, singer, performer, actress and social media sensation. Influenced by everyone from King Wasiu Ayinde, King Sunny Ade right through to Dolly Parton, she is known for mixing an array of genres in her music, including Afrobeats, pop, R&B and more.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia in the United States, Afropop megastar, Davido has amassed hundreds of millions of streams across his back catalogue, his single ‘Fall’ became the longest-charting Nigerian pop song in Billboard history and he was even cited as one of the Top 100 most influential Africans by New African magazine. More recently he dropped fourth studio album titled, ‘A Better Time’.
‘For You’, Teni The Entertainer ‘s first release of the new year, was released on February 12, 2021 on all digital platforms while her fans wait impatiently for her highly anticipated debut album scheduled for release on March 19, 2021.
