The 15-track project, which dropped on Friday, marks her first full-length release in five years and signals a deeply personal and introspective chapter in her musical journey.

“This project is so close to my heart, and I poured every part of me into it,” Savage wrote on her social media account. “I just pray you receive it with the same love I created it with. Please cherish it, because #ThisOneIsPersonal.”

Blending Afrobeats with raw emotion, the album explores themes of pain, growth, and resilience. Recorded across Nashville, London, and Lagos, This One Is Personal offers a stripped-down, intimate sound that reflects Savage’s evolution both as an artist and individual.

The album features a carefully curated list of collaborators, including UK rapper Skepta on “On the Low,” rising Nigerian artist Taves on “Addicted,” and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter James Fauntleroy on “Change.”

In a fan Q&A session earlier this week, Savage explained her approach to features: “I wanted you all to feel me in every song. The few features I chose were very intentional, with people who understood the vision and could add to the message without taking away from its intimacy. It’s less about numbers and more about connection.”

The album’s executive producers include Tiwatopé Savage herself, Vannessa Amadi-Ogbonna, and MystroSugar, with A&R led by Kolawole Omoboriowo and Sak Pase.

Since the release, fans have flooded social media with praise and emotional reactions using the hashtag #ThisOneIsPersonal, celebrating the singer’s return and unpacking the powerful narratives behind each track.
