While answering questions about the possibility of a new project before her November show in London, Tiwa revealed that she intends to release a couple more singles as she’s taking her time to prepare for her next album.
“I want to take my time on my next project. My next project is going to be R&B, my first love. It’s not R&B Afrobeats but R&B,” Tiwa Savaged shared.
The singer is set to perform at the OVO Wembley Arena where she will be the first female Afrobeats artist to headline the 13,000-capacity Arena.
Tiwa Savage has enjoyed a great 2023 with her single ‘Stamina’ ending the first half of the year in Pulse’s Top 10 Songs while also making strides in her guest appearances on Spyro’s hit record ‘Who’s Your Guy’.

Tiwa last released a project in 2021 which was the ‘Water & Garri’ EP that delivered the hit single ‘Somebody’s Son’ featuring Brandy. With a return to R&B, listeners can expect her next album to bring back memories of her debut project ‘Once Upon A Time’.
