TIWA SAVAGE

Mixed feelings trail Tiwa savage’s most recent offering, Celia. Pulse ng’s Motolani Alake described the album as not poor but not exceptional either. While it has some really good songs, the album is mostly filled with lukewarm to good songs. That said, props must go to Tiwa Savage for seeking songwriting help in a terrain that stigmatizes artists for seeking help. Motolani’s Celia Album review can be found on pulse.ng.

Meanwhile, thenativemag.com describes the Celia album as a formidable pop album, already being lauded as a ‘classic’. Celia‘ is packed with potential hits, crafty collaborations, bolshy lyrics and impeccable vocal abilities – the high points are innumerable.
