No Matter How Many Times I’ve Been Heartbroken, I’m Still A Sucker For Love – Tiwa Savage

Tiwa Savage has revealed that she still believes in love.

Glamtush reports that popular Nigerian singer, Tiwa Savage who is getting set to release an Extended Play album titled, ‘Water and Garri’ has stated that though she has been heartbroken she still believes in love.

Savage disclosed this while speaking on the Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music.

The mother of one noted that one of the songs on the album, Tales by Moonlight, was inspired by a kid’s show she used to enjoy as a child. She said, “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.”

Savage also stated that American RnB singer, Brandy, was the reason she became a musician. She maintained that featuring Brandy on the forthcoming EP was a dream come true for her as she had been trying to work with her for a long time. She said, “Brandy is literally the reason I started singing. She is my all-time favourite, mentor and everything. I’ve been trying to work with her for years. It was a dream of mine. When it happened, it went beyond music. We connected like sisters. I speak to her every other day.”

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.
