    Hello, Afritunes Army!
    Welcome to yet another week of enjoying amazing entries of rich African tunes from people all around the world. I almost missed the opportunity to participate in this week’s entry but thank goodness!, the day is not your over. Today, I'll be presenting the amazing jahm Away by Davido.

    While looking at the list of songs I had to pick and present, I tried a lot of songs but I wasn’t particularly feeling them. I decided to pick something in tune with my current mood and vibe and this song was the perfect fit.

    The beat was perfect and so was the lyric. The song tells of the singer admitting that people are looking forward to his downfall but he’s standing strong. He says he doesn’t have time for side talks, he’s in Ibiza having the time of his life.

    I specifically love this track or the entire album because we all know how it was birthed. This was the first album Davido released after he lost his son Ifeanyi. He was off social media for a long time because he was grieving and he most likely had no answers to how exactly his boy died.

    People whispered, dragged, and did everything to get his feathers ruffled and get him to talk on social media but he didn’t fall for it and when he was ready to return, he came back with mind blowing hits.

    I also love the incorporation of the Yoruba dialect and Nigerian Pidgin in the music lyrics. I honestly just smile when I see features that helps people discern where I’m from. It shows Africans are proud of themselves and their language and don’t mind applying it in their craft, thereby raising the African flag high.

    ##Davido - Away

    I know they want to see me fall, hmm
    But I dey stand fit, stand no dey fall oh, hmm
