There’s a shift happening in the Afro-Fusion space, and TiwaDara is steering it with both hands on the wheel.
With the release of his latest single “Nonstop” on April 10, the Lagos-born artist offers an electric preview of what’s to come from his forthcoming EP Village Mind, City Dreams—a seven-track body of work that positions him not just as a versatile voice, but a visionary storyteller at the intersection of tradition and modernity.
Built on an energetic rhythm and colored by rich vocal textures, “Nonstop” isn’t just a lead single—it’s a mission statement. The track’s joyful urgency reflects the duality at the core of the EP: village values colliding with city ambition, the quiet persistence of dreams pushing through the chaos of urban life.
With this first release, TiwaDara sets a brisk pace for the journey ahead, tapping into the raw emotion that has always defined his sound while signaling a more expansive creative direction.
Since his emergence in 2016, TiwaDara has become known for weaving Afrobeat rhythms with elements of Alternative R&B and Soul. But this new chapter finds him stretching further—sonically and emotionally.
Village Mind, City Dreams reflects an evolution, not just in craft, but in clarity. It’s a coming-of-age project for an artist who has grown within the community, drawing strength from the collective while shaping a sound that is unmistakably his own.
Village Mind, City Dreams is expected to land in the coming weeks, with more reveals slated before its release. Until then, “Nonstop” keeps the momentum alive—fuel for those who know that moving forward, even through uncertainty, is the dream in motion.
