Released in August 2021, the five-track Water & Garri is the singer\u2019s second EP after 2017\u2019s Sugarcane. It was released by Universal Music South Africa and boasts the international hit \u2018Somebody\u2019s Son\u2019 featuring American R&B star Brandy. Other guests on Water & Garri include fellow Nigerian R&B and Afro-fusion artists Tay Iwar and Rich King, Ghana\u2019s Amaarae and veteran US rapper Nas.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s crazy to believe but this is actually my first North American tour,\u201d Savage said. \u201cI\u2019ve had so much love from my US fans so I\u2019m super excited to come and play there.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the vision behind the EP, Tiwa Savage said: \u201cI’m bringing people into my world. It\u2019s a mixture of all the things I\u2019ve picked up along the way \u2013 from my jazz background, loving gospel, R&B, soul, Afrobeat \u2013 but then also stepping into new territories and just experimenting with the alt\u00e9 kind of sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
Tiwa Savage is likely the most influential female Afrobeats artist today. The multiple award-winning star is behind three albums, namely Once Upon A Time, R.E.D and Celia.<\/p>\n
