Two days ago, Tiwa Savage
lashed out
at two editors of TW magazine over a review of her new album that has
been published in the magazine. Reading the review, we understand
why Tiwa was upset. The review was little insensitive despite the fact that Tiwa
was their cover girl for the month.
Find their report on the album, Once Upon A Time, below...
'Once
Upon A Time opens with a Disney inspired story book account of Tiwa
Savage's relationship with her manager Tunji ‘TBillz'Balogun. Wanted,
potent and upbeat reggae track, works as a good opener. Her lower
register mode of singing works on Ileke, – a roll call for women to
shake their booty – but fails miserably on others like Ejim Afia and
Baby Mo.
Tiwa
Svaage is the very first and foremost RnB artiste and she doesn't
hide her natural rut on quite several tracks as Olorun Mi, Middle
Passage and Get Low. Her foray in pop music isn't a total disaster, her
Kele Kele and Love me x3 are exquisitely crafted pieces however the
subtle Folarin doesn't blow the mind. With 21 songs, you have to dig
deep to find the real substance with a lot of fillers, an excessive
amount of autotune and an excessive amount of Don Jazzy. However for a
debut album, it's an extensive effort '.
Too much
auto-tune and an excessive amount of Don Jazzy? Wow! I was at the
listening party and I was blown away by a lot of the songs I heard. So
far as I'm concerned, Once Upon A Time is an excellent album!
