Tiwa Savage Announces Long-Awaited Album This One Is Personal, Set for August Release
Afrobeats superstar Tiwa Savage is set to make a powerful return with her new album titled This One Is Personal, officially scheduled for release on August 29, 2025.
The forthcoming album marks Tiwa’s first full-length project in five years, following her critically praised 2020 album, Celia. With anticipation reaching a fever pitch, fans can expect a deeply emotional and creatively rich offering from the Nigerian music icon.
Tiwa has teased the direction of the album through recent singles that have already begun to make waves. Her soulful collaboration with British-Nigerian rapper Skepta on On the Low, which premiered on BBC Radio 1, showcases a moody, R&B-infused soundscape that hints at the album’s introspective tone. Earlier this year, she also dropped You4Me, a heartfelt single that explores themes of love and vulnerability.

Speaking about the inspiration behind the project, Tiwa Savage revealed that This One Is Personal was born from her experiences over the past two years, moments she describes as both healing and revealing. “This album allowed me to pour out my heart,” she shared, suggesting a body of work that is both raw and resonant.
Known for blending Afrobeats with R&B, soul, and pop, Tiwa is expected to bring that signature fusion to this new album, while also pushing sonic boundaries and collaborating with a fresh slate of artists.
Following the success of Celia, which featured stars like Sam Smith, Davido, Stefflon Don, and Naira Marley, This One Is Personal is shaping up to be a defining moment in her career, one that could further cement her status as the Queen of Afrobeats and a global force in music.
With the countdown to August 29 officially on, excitement continues to build for what could be Tiwa Savage’s most intimate and compelling project yet.
