Tiwa Savage is sensational- Sam Smith
Grammy-award singer, Sam Smith has described Tiwa Savage as a sensational singer. The popular British singer who featured in Savage’s song, Temptation which is off her Celia album further hailed the songstress’ sonorous voice.
Smith made this statement during a Zoom chat interview organised by the New York Times for both singers.
Smith said via Zoom from London, “I think she’s sensational.”
“Tiwa has this natural tone in her voice that makes you feel like you’re listening to a friend. It feels comfortable and feels wholesome and homey. And she sounds kind when she sings. My favourite singers have a softness to their voice that doesn’t, you know, smash you in the face. It just sits with you and talks to you in a kind and soft way. That’s how I hear her voice,” Smith said.
Speaking on her fourth studio album, Celia, the singer said she named the project after her mother.
She said, “I lived in Nigeria; I lived in London; I lived in America. Those are three different, completely different cultures and different continents. So I’ve just grown up just being a sponge for different kinds of music.
“When I first started as an artist, I was seen in a certain way, and I’ve grown since then. I’ve experienced a divorce, being a single mom and received backlash for being sometimes too sexy in a male-dominated industry.”
She continued, “I wanted my message to be clear. I have a platform now to encourage young African girls — and just young girls in general — how important it is to be true to yourself and be unapologetically strong as a woman.”
