Afrobeats Queen Tiwa Savage Bares Her Soul in New Album “This One Is Personal”
Nigerian music superstar Tiwa Savage has unveiled her most intimate work yet with “This One Is Personal,” a soul-stirring 15-track album that takes listeners on an emotional journey through the artist’s recent life experiences. After two years in the making, this fourth studio album showcases the vulnerability and raw authenticity that fans rarely get to see from the African Bad Gyal.
“Every single record resonates with an experience I’ve gone through,” Savage revealed in a candid conversation with Apple Music, describing it as her most vulnerable project to date. The album, recorded across various global locations, reads like pages torn from her private diary, offering an unfiltered glimpse into her world during what she acknowledges was a challenging period.
Unlike her previous star-studded collaborations, this time Savage keeps things intentionally intimate with just three featured artists – Skepta, Taves, and James Fauntleroy. This selective approach allows her storytelling to shine through, particularly on singles like “You4Me” and her collaboration with Skepta on “On the Low.” The album masterfully weaves between soul-bearing piano ballads and signature Afrobeats grooves.
Standout tracks include the emotionally charged “I’m Done,” the story-rich “10%,” and the brutally honest “You’re Not the First (You’re Just the Worst).” Savage also explores her spiritual side on tracks like “Pray No More” and “Change,” offering a fresh perspective on faith and personal growth.
Taking to X to announce the album’s release, an emotional Savage shared, “I honestly can’t put into words the emotions I’m feeling right now. This project is so close to my heart, and I poured every part of me into it. I just pray you receive it with the same love I created it with.”
For longtime fans of the Afrobeats pioneer, “This One Is Personal” represents Tiwa Savage at her most authentic, proving that sometimes the most powerful music comes from our most vulnerable moments.
