We are not jealous of the people who were inside Co-op Live arena in Manchester on 26 March watching Tiwa Savage perform at the 2026 MOBO Awards and hearing an unreleased song from her for the very first time. We are completely fine. But if you are a Tiwa Savage fan and you were not there, we think it is safe to say you missed a great deal. Do not worry, we have got you with all the details.

On the red carpet, Tiwa arrived in a structured, architectural floor-length off-the-shoulder dress covered in 3D metallic geometric tiles in silver that gave the whole look a sculptural, mirror-like finish. A short pixie cut with soft finger waves, clean glowing makeup with a nude glossy lip and chunky diamond rings completed the red-carpet moment. She also told the host exactly what 2026 is the year of for her: “MONEY,” she said. No hesitation whatsoever.

For the performance, everything changed. She came out in a cropped multi-coloured leather biker jacket in chocolate brown, black and yellow, worn over a bright yellow bandeau top, a heavily embellished dark mini-skirt with gold hardware and oversized grommets, a white faux-fur attachment at the waist and white and yellow boxing-style boots. Layered chunky gold necklaces and statement gold earrings kept the luxury element running through the whole look.

The set was a masterful two-part medley. She opened with a soulful, stripped-back rendition of “You4Me,” reminding everyone of her incredible vocal range, before a “coin drop” moment shifted the gear entirely.

The transition into her unreleased song “Energy” was a full production—a troupe of dancers in monochromatic red streetwear, Afro-fusion choreography, architectural stage arches and bold lighting shifting from deep purples to fiery reds. It was Tiwa Savage at full capacity and Manchester felt every bit of it.

Remember when Tiwa Savage gave us “You4Me” earlier this year and it instantly felt different? Not just a new single vibe — but like something bigger was coming? And then she released “On The Low” with Skepta, and yeah, at that point, the signs were loud.

Well, she finally said what we were all hoping for. Tiwa’s new album “This One is Personal” is officially on the way. Mark your calendars for August 29 because we’re getting 15 new tracks.

She made the announcement on Instagram with a photo that looks like something out of a fairytale-slash-retro dream. Tiwa is sitting on a beautiful tall stack of pastel and jewel-toned mattresses, holding a silver boombox. The vibe is Afro princess meets vintage nostalgia. It’s theatrical in the quietest, most thoughtful way.

She revealed that the album was two years in the making. It was recorded in multiple cities — Nashville, Lagos, Malibu, San Francisco, London — and is full of real emotions and real-life stories. “Some of these records were born out of pain and very dark times,” she wrote. “But every single song… is something I went through.”

She even called the album a “chunk of my heart” and says she excited, nervous, a bit scared but immensely grateful.

Have you caught the vibe in Tiwa Savage’s latest single “You4Me” yet? We’re pretty sure you have. The music superstar dropped the love song back in April, and now the official video is here to bring even more energy to the track.

As you probably already know, the song leans into R&B and Soul and might just be part of her upcoming album, which she’s hinted is titled “This One Is Personal.” “You4Me” is a gentle love song that says, in the simplest way, “we’re meant to be.” “For my R&B lovers,” Tiwa says, and this one’s truly for them.

The visuals match the song’s laid-back and romantic feel, and yes, we even get to see Tiwa showing off a few dance moves in the video.

Tiwa Savage‘s latest release, ‘You4me‘ is already giving us all the feels, but it’s her outfit that’s truly stealing the spotlight. Just days after the song’s release, she served up a look that’s equal parts nostalgic and cool.

Rocking a cool brown, oversized jacket with sharp black-and-white striped cuffs, Tiwa’s outfit immediately takes us back to the ‘90s and early 2000s, where wide, chunky belts ruled the fashion scene. Paired with high-waisted, dark brown shorts that cinch perfectly at the waist, she’s giving us all the retro vibes. And that wide leather belt is the same one we, or at least our favourite aunty wore in our teens. it’s giving a fashionable throwback moment, but somehow still feels fresh on her.

Keeping it sleek, she added short hair, chunky gold hoop earrings, and layered gold necklaces. The combination is super cool, and let’s not forget the stunning skin-to-jacket match.

See her photos below.
