Tiwa Savage has always worn many crowns: Afrobeats queen, global trailblazer, unapologetic icon. She has consistently shaped and reshaped the soundscape of African music. After a five-year pause since her last full-length album, this project feels like both a confession and a release . This One Is Personal, marks a turning point, not just in her career, but in her expression of self.
As the title boldly suggests, This One Is Personal peels back the glamorous layers of Tiwa’s superstar image and reveals something far more intimate. The album is a reflection of growth, loss and love all filtered through her signature blend of Afro-fusion, R&B, and emotionally charged lyricism. It’s vulnerable without being fragile, confident without being loud.
Production-wise, the album is a masterclass in subtlety. The beats are warm and textured, weaving together Afrobeats, soul, and contemporary R&B with organic instrumentation and atmospheric layering.
This One Is Personal is a reminder of the timeless power of honest artistry. Tiwa Savage isn’t chasing anyone,she’s finally, fully standing in her own truth.
