D'banj, Youssou N'Dour & Chechi Sarai team up for new single 'Worthy'

Nigerian veteran singer D'banj announces the release of Worthy, a song and visual collaboration with icon and Grammy Award winner Youssou N'Dour and NBC’s The Voice first runner-up Chechi Sarai. The new track, which uses romantic love as a powerful metaphor for the artists' love for Africa, is scheduled for release on streaming platforms and broadcast stations on Friday, July 19, 2024.

The video of Worthy is a cross-cultural showcase of music, culture, and place. Shot across scenic Dakar, Senegal, and at the John Randle Centre for Yoruba Culture and History in Lagos, Nigeria, it features an exciting cameo by football legend El Hadji Diouf. Worthy is the fourth single off D'banj's anticipated fifth studio album, Entertainer—The Sequel, which is available for pre-save from July 23 and will be released officially on August 9, 2024, by DB Records. The song was co-written by legendary rapper, Olamide and produced by Eskeez, while the visuals shot by award-winning video director, Clarence Peters.

Creating and releasing 'Worthy' is another milestone as D'Banj celebrates his 20th anniversary on stage with a series of activities that will culminate in a global tour. Youssou N'Dour, whom D'Banj describes as a legend and mentor, is also celebrating his 40th anniversary, making their collaboration a symbolic ode to Africa and its rich music landscape.

Worthy is a message of hope and unity to all Africans at home and abroad. Speaking about the song, D'banj said, "When we come together as one, we not only honour our heritage but also unlock our borderless potential to lead the world. The future belongs to a united Africa, worthy of her dreams and aspirations."

Youssou N'Dour said, "Africa, our home, is filled with beauty and worthiness. I feel a special connection to our land and people and will always celebrate that connection."
