Tiwa Savage - You4Me (Official Video)
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Tiwa Savage unveils the official video for her sensual new single “You4Me”, a standout track from her highly anticipated fourth studio album, “This One Is Personal”. Filmed in London and directed by Liam S. Gleeson, the video brings to life the song’s nostalgic allure. Since its release on April 21, “You4Me” has already amassed over 10 million streams, contributing to the Nigerian-born global star’s impressive total of 612 million worldwide. “I’m a ’90s R&B girl at heart,” says Tiwa, and that passion pulses through the track, where you can hear the influence of legends like Brandy and Mary J. Blige. Still, “You4Me” is no imitation; it’s unmistakably Tiwa, soulful, honest, and completely her own. Catch Tiwa live this summer at Little Simz’ Meltdown Festival at Southbank Centre on June 14, where she’ll perform “You4Me” and more from her upcoming album.
Tiwa’s evolution has been constant. As one of Afrobeats’ leading voices, she’s spent the last two decades opening doors for the next generation, and now she’s ready to claim the spotlight she helped build. Born in Lagos, Nigeria, and raised in the UK from the age of eleven, Tiwa has navigated diverse cultures at every turn. This journey, marked by moments of isolation, reinvention, and unshakable resilience, infuses her music, allowing her to present herself on her terms for the very first time. Though she already boasts an MTV EMA, a MOBO Award, and a catalogue of genre‑defining hits, with “Kele Kele Love”, “Koroba”, and “Malo” cemented as a generational touchstone, Tiwa’s reach extends far beyond awards.
Tiwa Savage has truly earned her title as the “Queen of Afrobeats.” With nearly three million monthly Spotify listeners, eighteen million Instagram followers, and a knack for forging powerful collaborations, her impact is undeniable. She’s penned Grammy-nominated records for Beyonce’s The Lion King: The Gift, Fantasia, and Babyface and sang backing vocals for Whitney Houston and George Michael. She has collaborated with artists ranging from Sam Smith and Chris Martin to Brandy, Nas, Wizkid, Davido, Craig David, and Bob Marley. Few artists can claim to have performed at King Charles’s coronation concert or graced the digital cover of Billboard magazine. In 2024, Tiwa Savage expanded her creative horizons, making her acting and producing debut on “Water & Garri”, truly proving that her ambitions know no bounds.
