African Bad Gyal Tiwa Savage has announced her much-anticipated 4th studio album, sending shockwaves across the music world with a striking visual and a heartfelt message that left fans buzzing. The queen of Afrobeats took to social media, dropping a short video clip and a powerful photo to mark the milestone.
In the image, Savage is seen perched high on a dramatic stack of satin-draped mattresses, holding a vintage boombox like a crown jewel. Each layer of fabric—from deep crimson velvets to golden silks and pastel pinks—creates a throne-like stage, symbolizing the layers of her journey, the highs and lows, the beauty and the bruises. Radios surround the base like guardians of her legacy, grounding the scene in nostalgia while pointing to her enduring voice in global music. Her posture is bold yet contemplative, embodying both strength and vulnerability.
Her announcement read: “The ALBUM is here. Over 2 years. Recorded in Nashville, Malibu, San Francisco, London, Lagos. It has been a journey bringing this to life. Blood, sweat and literal tears included. Some of these records were born out of pain and very dark times and some were from times that were brighter but EVERY single song, every single vibe is something I went through. This record isn’t about proving anything to anyone—it is me pouring my emotions in notes and creating music from my love. Releasing this into the world almost feels like giving you guys a chunk of my heart & but as they say, love is to be shared. I’m excited, nervous, a bit scared but immensely grateful. This One is Personal and it really is. August 29th. Pre-Save now.”
The emotional depth of her words reveals just how personal this body of work is. Recorded across five cities—Nashville, Malibu, San Francisco, London, and Lagos—the album promises a fusion of global influences while staying rooted in Savage’s soulful Afrobeats essence.
The announcement comes just a day after she dropped her sizzling new single “On The Low” featuring Skepta, giving fans a taste of the powerhouse collaborations and sonic brilliance to expect.
For Savage, it’s a diary in melody, a love letter to her fans, and a fearless offering of her soul. Mark your calendars: August 29th is about to change the game.
The Queen has spoken. The throne is secure. The album is personal. Afrobeats history is about to be made.
