Tiwa Savage Reignites R&B Passion with Soulful New Single ‘You4Me’
Nigerian superstar Tiwa Savage has unveiled You4Me, a sultry R&B-infused single that serves as the lead offering from her highly anticipated fourth studio album, This One Is Personal. Released via EMPIRE, the track finds Africa’s leading First Lady of Afrobeats returning to her musical roots, delivering a velvety love letter that samples Tamia’s 1998 classic So Into You while injecting contemporary Afrobeats warmth.
Produced by longtime collaborator Mystro, You4Me masterfully bridges eras – the nostalgic ’90s R&B harmonies that first inspired Tiwa’s career now intertwine with modern Afropop sensibilities. Her vocals float effortlessly over the lush instrumentation, channeling the emotional depth of Mary J. Blige and the smooth precision of Brandy – artists she once supported as a backup vocalist before becoming a global phenomenon herself.
The single arrives as a natural progression following her recent R&B-leaning collaboration Commitment with UK legend Craig David, further signaling Tiwa’s artistic shift towards more introspective, soul-baring material. In a teaser for her upcoming album, the multi-award winning artist shared poignant spoken word poetry hinting at deeply personal themes of resilience and self-discovery.
Beyond its romantic lyrics, You4Me represents a full-circle moment for Tiwa – a chance to honor the R&B greats who shaped her while cementing her own legacy as:
✓ The first Nigerian artist to perform at King Charles III’s coronation
✓ A 2025 Forbes Africa Media Icon Award recipient
✓ The visionary behind era-defining hits like Koroba and Somebody’s Son
