Joeboy Unveils Tracklist for Third Studio Album ‘Viva Lavida’

Joeboy is officially setting the stage for his next musical era. The Afropop star has unveiled the tracklist for his highly anticipated third studio album, Viva Lavida, which is set to drop on March 28, 2025. True to its title, ‘Viva Lavida’ translated as “live life” is expected to capture themes of love, growth and self-discovery while delivering the vibrant sound Joeboy is known for.  

The announcement, which surfaced online on Friday, March 21, has sent fans into a frenzy, eager to experience the direction Joeboy is taking with this new body of work. The album consists of 13 tracks, including ‘Adenuga’, which features rising star Qing Madi. However, Joeboy isn’t revealing all his cards just yet, three tracks, ‘Sunset, Free of Charge’, and ‘I’ll Be Okay’, have “mystery features”, bringing the total number of featured artists on the album to five. Other songs on the project include: Innocent, Abena, Taxi Driver, Streets Are Lonely, Magdalene, SMH, Hey Father, Osadebe, and Sinner.

Notably, ‘Osadebe’ and ‘Adenuga’ will be the only 2024 releases that made the Viva Lavida album cut. Adding to the album’s weight, Tempoe serves as an executive producer, a testament to the sonic quality and chemistry the duo have always shared.

Davido Set to Make Historic Coachella Debut in 2026 Davido is set to make his long-awaited debut at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival 2026, a booking that places one of Afrobeats’ most commercially dominant figures on one of the world’s most visible stages. Davido will take the stage on both Saturdays of the 2026 edition, April 11 and April 18, at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, becoming the only Nigerian artist and the sole dedicated Afrobeats representative on this year’s global lineup. Davido appears as part of a stacked global lineup headlined by Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G. This milestone marks a significant leap for Davido and the entire Afrobeats movement. Fresh off his high-energy 5IVE Alive Tour across North America, the 33-year-old hitmaker is set to bring his signature blend of infectious rhythms, anthemic choruses, and electrifying stage presence to the desert. For an artist whose international run has steadily translated from streaming dominance to sold-out arenas, Coachella represents both a symbolic and strategic checkpoint, continuously serving as a cultural placement within a festival that has historically dictated global pop visibility. Davido’s inclusion also continues a broader shift in how African music is absorbed into global circuits. Where Afrobeats once occupied novelty slots, it now commands consistent presence, with artists entering lineups not as outliers but as essential contributors to the festival’s sonic diversity. Years after a previously anticipated Coachella appearance failed to materialize, Davido arrives at a time when both his catalogue and the genre he represents carry undeniable global weight. The stage is no longer a breakthrough moment; it’s a reflection of a status already earned. With the festival weekends fast approaching (April 10–12 and 17–19, 2026), all eyes will be on the desert to see whether Davido delivers the kind of unforgettable, high-octane set that could further cement Afrobeats as a dominant force in global pop culture.

With ‘Viva Lavida’, Joeboy continues to refine his signature fusion of Afropop, R&B, and contemporary sounds. His previous projects have dominated charts and earned critical acclaim, making this album one of the most anticipated releases of the year. As the countdown to March 28 begins, all eyes are on Joeboy to deliver yet another standout project.
