Award-winning singer and mother of one, Tiwa Savage, has stated that though she has been heartbroken, she still believes in love.
Tiwa who, in recent past, claimed that it took her years to come to terms with ex-husband, Tunji ‘Teebillz’ Balogun after their breakup.
The duo got married in 2013 in one of the most celebrated weddings of the decade.
Things, however, took a different turn in 2016 after the couple went on social media to call each other out over allegations of infidelity.
Speaking on the Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music, Tiwa Savage noted that one of the songs on the album, ‘Tales by Moonlight’ was inspired by a kid’s show that she enjoyed as a child.
“When I heard the instrumental, it felt soft and light, and had an old school vibe. So, I wanted a record that felt good. However, it is a love song. Tales by Moonlight was a popular programme when I was growing up in Nigeria. (In it, the anchor would tell stories to children).
“It’s basically about me saying I want a fairy tale type of love. I don’t want to lose hope in finding real love. I still believe in that. No matter how many times I’ve been heartbroken, I am still a sucker for love. I still believe there’s that fairy-tale Cinderella ending.”
The singer also stated that she had never created music like she did on the album. She added, “There is a song on the album titled, ‘Work Fada’. On it, I featured Rich King and Nas. I have never created music like this. “Everybody that was involved (in making the album) from Rodney Jerkins to Brandy, TY Dolla Sign and Nas were incredible. When I played the record for Pharrell (American singer and producer), he was blown away. He was quiet for a few seconds.
“Some people asked me if I was sure I wanted to release another project. We are not sure about touring yet. For me, it’s not really about that. It’s about putting music out and making sure that people’s souls are fed. That is the only way I contribute to what’s going on around the world.”
