After premiering ‘ Tales by Moonlight ‘
yesterday, Tiwa Savage finally drops
“Water & Garri EP”.
Tiwa Savage debut in 2021 with the highly
anticipated new EP titled “Water & Garri“.
Featuring International artists; Brandy,
Nas & Rich King, with Alte Queen,
Amaarae and romantic singer, Tay Iwar ,
the EP houses 5 tracks and explores new
sounds with smooth and calm vibes.
Savage’s fearlessness in combining a
unique fusion of Afrobeat, R&B, soul and
pop paid off, earning her an abundance of
award nominations including four
Channel O Music Video Awards
nominations, five World Music Award
nominations, two Headies nominations,
MTV Africa Music, BET & MOBO Award
nominations and many more. The U.S.
edition of Vogue hailed her as one of the
Most Inspirational Women, and in
December 2018, British Vogue singled her
out as one of 10 women that are changing
the face of music globally. 2018 was a
remarkable year all-around for her. She
was named Best African Act at the MTV
European Music Awards, making history
as the first female to win the award. She
was handpicked by Coldplay’s Chris
Martin to perform alongside Beyoncé, Ed
Sheeran and JAY Z live at the Global
Citizen Festival to an 70,000 audience and
millions across the globe.

As the follow-up to her acclaimed third
album, 2020’s Celia, Water & Garri
EP unifies Tiwa Savage’s global influences
—gleaned from spending primary years in
Lagos, teenage years in London and
attending university in the US—into a
collage of R&B, Afrobeats and pop.
Named after the staple cassava dish that’s
enjoyed hot or cold, and released in two
parts, Water & Garri mashes together
sounds and styles with global
collaborators and her own heartfelt style.
On “Somebody’s Son”, she ruminates on a
love to come alongside US singer Brandy,
while on “Tales by Moonlight” she links
up with Ghanaian singer Amaarae on a
flirtatious jaunt pairing elements of
soulful ’90s house with African rhythms.
This half of the two-part EP also loops in
the talents of Nas and Rich King (“Work
Fada”) and Tay Iwar (“Special Kinda”).
Listen and Enjoy!
