Have you picked a favorite yet from Tiwa Savage’s new album, This One Is Personal? If not, her recent performance might just help you choose.
The Afrobeats superstar marked the release of her 15-track project with an intimate live session on BBC Radio 1Xtra’s Album Launch Party. Backed by her band, Tiwa stepped out in sleek black against a bold red backdrop, delivering songs like Angel Dust, Holding It Down, 10, and her Skepta collab On the Low with raw emotion and powerful vocals.
More than a performance, it felt like storytelling. Each song carried weight, with Tiwa pouring so much feeling into the music that you could sense the heart behind every lyric.
In a sit-down chat, she spoke openly about the meaning behind This One Is Personal, her growth as an African artist making waves globally, and how she balances life as a mother while running a career at full speed. She also touched on the reinvention that keeps her artistry fresh, yet true to herself.
The album is already out everywhere, but hearing her perform it live — breaking down each track in her own way — adds a whole new layer to the experience.
