Nigerian music superstar, Tiwa Savage, is set to launch her new album, ‘This One Is Personal’, on August 29.

Savage disclosed on her X account that the 13-track album explores the themes of pain, growth, and resilience, with a deeply intimate Afrobeats sound.

This One Is Personal’ marks her first full-length project since 2020’s Celia, ending a five-year break from major releases.

Recorded across Nashville, London, and Lagos, the project features minimal collaborations, including UK rapper Skepta and rising star Taves.

“This album is my story, so I kept the features limited.“I wanted you all to feel me in every song. The few features I chose were very intentional, with people who understood the vision and could add to the message without taking away from its intimacy. It’s less about numbers and more about connection,” Savage shared in a fan Q&A on X.

Savage, who has stayed away from releasing a full studio album since 2020, said the project reflects her personal journey over the past five years, balancing career transitions, motherhood, and self-discovery.

The young lady who was flunged into the Lagos Lagoon after the fatal accident that occurred on 3rd Mainland Bridge on Sunday night has been buried according to Islamic right.

Why race on the highway? May their souls rest in peace. SPEED KILLS.
