Afrobeats diva, Tiwa Savage, has once again proved her mettle as a global music sensation, teaming up with British rap heavyweight, Skepta on the sultry, Afrobeats-infused track On The Low.
The song, which has been sparking global heat with fans and music lovers vibing to its infectious beat and smooth vocals is a masterclass in blending genres and styles, creating a sound that’s both distinctly African and universally appealing. The global appeal is attributed to the chemistry between the two artistes, as well as their willingness to experiment and push boundaries.
Produced by Rymez, On The Low is a cross-continental groove where Tiwa’s signature sultry vocals intertwine with Skepta’s razor-sharp delivery and effortless flow, creating a soundscape that is both smooth and assertive.
After weeks of perplexing teasers and social media whispers, the two artistes finally delivered on fan speculation. The new offering is a seamless blend of Afrobeats elegance and British grime grit, serving as a striking prelude to Tiwa’s forthcoming album, This One Is Personal.
Both artistes deeply rooted in Nigerian heritage yet thriving in different cultural spheres, meet at the crossroads of their identities. Tiwa brings her Lagos-bred Afrobeats finesse, while Skepta injects raw energy from London’s rap underground.
With Tiwa’s fourth studio album—This One Is Personal—slated for release later this month (August 29), On The Low sets the tone for what’s to come — a project rumoured to be her most personal and genre-defying to date.
In an era where music trends are dictated by algorithms, On The Low stands out with its genuine charm. Rather than following the bandwagon, it blazes its own trail. Tiwa and Skepta in the track bridged the gap between Lagos and London, solidifying their positions as trailblazers in the dynamic global music scene.
More than just a song, the new release is a cultural exchange, a fusion of sounds and styles that transcend borders and genres. It cements Tiwa’s status as a leading figure in the global Afrobeats scene.
