Remember that distinct feeling when Tiwa Savage gifted us "You4Me" earlier this year? It wasn't just another new single; it hinted at something grander on the horizon. Then came "On The Low" with Skepta, and at that point, the signals were unmistakable. Well, the Afrobeats queen has finally confirmed what everyone eagerly anticipated: her new album, "This One Is Personal," is officially on its way! Mark your calendars for August 29, as we're about to receive 15 brand new tracks.
Tiwa made the exciting announcement via Instagram, accompanying it with a captivating photo that evokes a fusion of fairytale charm and retro dreams. In the striking image, Tiwa is elegantly seated atop a magnificent, tall stack of pastel and jewel-toned mattresses, cradling a vintage silver boombox. The entire aesthetic effortlessly blends an Afro princess vibe with nostalgic appeal, creating a scene that is both theatrical and quietly thoughtful.
She revealed that this deeply personal album has been a meticulous two-year labor of love. Recorded across multiple vibrant cities—including Nashville, Lagos, Malibu, San Francisco, and London—the project is a rich tapestry of genuine emotions and authentic real-life narratives. "Some of these records were born out of pain and very dark times," she candidly shared, adding that "every single song… is something I went through."
In a testament to its profound significance, Tiwa even described the album as "a chunk of my heart." She expressed a mix of excitement, nervousness, and a touch of apprehension, all underscored by immense gratitude for this intensely personal creation. Get ready to experience Tiwa Savage like never before.
