Salatiel has announced his fifth studio album and a 22-date world tour that will take him from Yaoundé and Lagos to Paris, Brussels, London, New York, Toronto and Johannesburg through 2025 and into early 2026.
The album, untitled for now and due in September, was recorded across studios in Yaoundé, Lagos and Atlanta. It features collaborations with two Grammy-nominated American artists, a Nigerian superstar Salatiel previously worked with on the Black Is King soundtrack, and three rising Cameroonian voices signed to his Alpha Better Records imprint.

What Salatiel Said
"This is the album I have been waiting ten years to make. The world is finally paying attention to Cameroon. We have to be ready when they look — that is what Alpha Better is built for."
Tickets for the African dates open in May. European and North American pre-sales open shortly after. Like Wow TV will livestream the Yaoundé opening night in full.
Why This Tour Matters
Salatiel's last full world tour was in 2019. Since then, he has built Alpha Better Records into one of the most respected production houses on the continent — credited on releases by Beyoncé, Wizkid, Mr Eazi and Davido. This tour is the first time international audiences will see that pedigree on stage in his own name.
It is also a calculated bet on Cameroon's moment. The success of artists like Stanley Enow, Locko, Daphne and Tzy Panchak has primed global playlists for the country's sound. Salatiel — half artist, half architect of that scene — is moving while the door is open.
