“I’m a big fan of Tiwa Savage” – Singer Craig David

British R&B artist Craig David has conveyed his respect for Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage.

The 43-year-old acclaimed musician characterized Tiwa Savage as a reliable and gifted presence within the music scene.

In a recent discussion on the Capital Xtra podcast, Craig David alluded to his intention to work with Savage on the track titled ‘Commitment’.

He mentioned that his song was 70% finished when he inquired with his team about potential collaborators, and they collectively recommended Tiwa Savage.

“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,” he said.

“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.”

David expressed that Tiwa Savage was “everything I could’ve imagined and more” upon their meeting.

“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!’” he added.
