Craig David, British R&B singer has expressed admiration for Tiwa Savage, Nigerian singer, applauding her contributions to Afrobeats.
Gatekeepers News reports that the 43-year-old singer described Tiwa, 45, as a “consistent and talented force” in the music industry.
David spoke on his collaboration with Savage on the song ‘Commitment’ during a recent interview on Capital Xtra podcast.
He said, “ I have been a big fan of Tiwa for years. When it comes to Afrobeats, she has been holding it down for so long. She is not just consistent; she is also an amazing vocalist.”
“We were all in the studio, brainstorming, and someone said, ‘What about Tiwa Savage?’ I was like, ‘What about Tiwa? That is a great idea!’ So, we reached out to her, not knowing if she would be interested or if we would just get ignored. But she came back so graciously.”
“She said, ‘Even if the song was not that great, I still would have jumped on it’. That is when I knew this was love. She got on the track, and next thing you know, we had this amazing song that perfectly blends our worlds.”
“It went from fire emojis to voice notes. The way her ad-libs hit? It was next level. We were both gassed.”
“Meeting her for the first time was everything I could have imagined and more. She is so gracious, and her talent is just insane. She is like, ‘Yeah, it’s good stuff,’ and I’m like, ‘No, you’re the good stuff!”
