Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage has set the internet buzzing with the release of her long-awaited fourth studio album, This One Is Personal, a 15-track masterpiece that dives into love, heartbreak, healing, and spiritual renewal. The project, which dropped today across all streaming platforms, is already being hailed as her most raw and intimate body of work to date.
Speaking with Apple Music, Tiwa revealed: “It’s the most vulnerable I’ve ever been on a record. Every single track resonates with something I’ve gone through. It took me two years to complete this, and the process was both painful and therapeutic.” Fans have described the album as an emotional diary, laid bare for the world.
Unlike her previous projects packed with star features, This One Is Personal keeps its guest list minimal, spotlighting her voice and storytelling. The only collaborators are Skepta, Taves, and Grammy-winning songwriter James Fauntleroy, ensuring Tiwa’s narrative takes centre stage. Pre-release singles like “You4Me” and “On The Low” (with Skepta) already gave fans a taste of her new sound — a mix of stripped-down ballads, soulful grooves, and daring confessions.
Standout tracks include the haunting piano ballad “I’m Done”, the biting honesty of “You’re Not the First (You’re Just the Worst)”, and the faith-driven “Pray No More.” On “Change”, Tiwa digs deeper into her spirituality, opening up about her evolving relationship with God. Each track feels less like music and more like pages from her private journal.
Recorded across multiple countries, the album mirrors her global journey but never loses its Nigerian soul. Fans online are already flooding X (Twitter) with emotional reactions, with one trending post reading: “Tiwa just gave us her heart on an album — this is why she remains Mama Africa.”
Announcing the project, Tiwa wrote on X: “My album is finally out. I honestly can’t put into words the emotions I’m feeling. This project is so close to my heart, and I just pray you receive it with the same love I created it with.”
Music critics are predicting the album will not only top charts but also redefine Tiwa Savage’s legacy. By baring her pain, faith, and resilience, she has delivered an album that is both deeply personal and universally relatable — the kind of project that cements an artist’s place in music history.
