Beautiful Songstress, Tiwa Savage in an interview talks about
her humble beginning and why she waited so long to release her debut
album.
But one of the most buzzed about headlines is Tiwa’s response to
being a sex symbol. “If you ask my family, I am not like that. I am a
laid-back person”, she tells the publication.
Tiwa didn’t shy
away from speaking on her fiancé. She spoke on why she wrote a song for
him “You know the culture here. If you’re not married and just focus on
your career, people would start asking questions. He understood my
journey; he was able to push me career-wise and he encourages me a lot.
So, I had to do a song for him.”
Excerpts
On why it took 2 years to drop her debut album
– This album is from my heart and it’s something that I worked so long
for. A lot of people wondered why it took so long and that’s because we
had to go through a lot of legal processes to clear some of the samples
that we used and that took months. Also, we wanted to work with some
notable producers like Warren ‘Oak’ Felder who worked with Nicki Minaj
and Rihanna. So, we had to work round their schedules and that’s why it
took so long.
This is an album that I don’t want to be the usual
Nigerian album with patchy tracks from beginning to end. I want it to
have a meaning.
