March 26, 2025VideoMarch is shaping up to be an incredible month for women, and it’s exciting to witness. After all, the entire month is dedicated to Women’s History, and beyond the numerous talks, shows, and programmes celebrating women, Simi is adding to the moment with the music video for ‘Woman to Woman.’
A tribute to women, self-love, and confidence, ‘Woman to Woman’ is a song that uplifts and empowers. Simi praises women as “one in a billion,” “queens,” and “visions,” encouraging them to hold their heads high and embrace their worth. Through its lyrics, the song champions self-affirmation, with a recurring theme of looking in the mirror and recognising one’s own greatness. It also pushes back against societal pressures, urging women to own their power and never dim their shine. At its core, it’s an anthem of self-love, self-assurance, and sisterhood.
The music video brings these themes to life, as Simi personally celebrates different women, of all ages, including her own mother. With warmth and admiration, she honours their confidence, resilience, and beauty, capturing the essence of womanhood in a truly moving way.
“They say when a woman compliments another woman, it’s like stars collide and colours come alive. It’s me. I said it,” Simi shares. “This one is for all the WOMEN in my life and all the women in yours.”

March 26, 2025VideoRemember these lyrics? “I’m walking away from the troubles in my life. I’m walking away oh to find a better day” from “Walking Away” by R&B star Craig David? Well, he’s back with the visuals for his new single “Commitment,” his collaboration with Afrobeats queen Tiwa Savage.
Produced by Mike Brainchild, the song blends Afrobeats, pop, and R&B, capturing the struggles of a relationship. Both artists tell their side of the story. Craig as a man who feels unappreciated and Tiwa as a woman who’s grown distant.
Craig sings about putting in effort that goes unnoticed. “Every time I show you vibes you cannot see it / Every time I tell the truth you don’t believe it,” he says in the chorus. Tiwa responds, explaining her distance. “We fell in love instantly. You’re a man on a mission. Stacking your paper. So I kept a distance babe.” Even with the tension, there’s still a spark: “Mmm, but I still want it all night. Undo this dress, show me your might.”
Speaking on Capital XTRA Breakfast, Craig explained how the collaboration happened. “The song was about commitment, about a relationship, and about what it’s like,” he said. “It’s all good — the romantic phase. But what’s it like when you’ve got to dig deep, when you’re like, ‘OK, it’s getting a bit tough here.’ And we were like, ‘But who could pan this?’ And everyone unanimously, weirdly enough, said, ‘What about Tiwa Savage?’ I said, ‘Tiwa Savage!’”
He continued, “So it all happened. So, then it was like, a case of just reaching out… She came back so graciously, and she said the other day, ‘Listen, even if the song wasn’t that great, like the 70% you’re done, I still would have jumped on it.’ I was like, ‘This is love.’ So, she jumped on it, and next thing you know, we’ve got this song that, for me, it sort of embodies both of our worlds, and it feels legit, and it hits the right spot.”

He promises to always be there when it matters, “I get shoulder whenever you worry,” but that does not mean he has all the answers. He reminds his partner that while he is a source of support, he carries his own struggles too, “My shoulder’s for you but the weight on it alone isn’t mine.”

March 10, 2025Naija NewsAt this stage in her career, Tiwa Savage is no longer just thinking about music; she’s thinking about legacy. From topping charts to gracing global stages, she has spent years cementing her place as one of Africa’s most influential artists. But now, she’s building something bigger.
With “Water & Garri,” her debut as an executive producer and lead actress, she has taken her first steps into filmmaking. Beyond that, she is passionate about education and philanthropy, and she strongly believes in African artists owning their work and telling their own stories.
In her latest conversation with Forbes Africa, she speaks about the future of African music, the importance of telling African stories, and what it truly takes to build an empire.
Read excerpts from the interview below.
On her mogul vision:
“I want to go into my mogul era – billionaire Tiwa Savage.”
On discovering her love for performing:
“When I was in school, there are basic subjects like math, English, and there are also electives like sports, drama, music – I chose drama and just even from earlier on, I knew that I had a gift for acting. Even when I started my music career, I knew, at some point, I was going to go back into that field,”
On the Influence of different musical cultures
“Growing up in Nigeria, then moving to the United Kingdom and studying jazz in America, I absorbed different musical influences,” she explains. “I can do a jazz record, a garage song, or an Afrobeats track, and it all feels authentic. I have lived these experiences.”
On Transitioning into Filmmaking with “Water & Garri“
“It was a lot of work, but there are similarities to music…I am used to repeating melodies until they are perfect. Watching scenes over and over, making corrections — it was not frustrating. It was exciting.”
On nurturing the next generation of artists
“Everyone always says to me, ‘when are you going to sign an artist?’ I don’t think I have the gift to sign another artist, because artists are stressful… I could just be sleeping, and then I will wake up and my artist is trending for something else”.
“But I do have the gift to help, which is why I am trying to do the music school, where you can go and later sign to a label that can actually help you.’’
On whether she plans to retire
“Not retirement, per se, but sometimes the pressure gets to you. That is why having a strong team is important. Plus, let us be real, I need to keep making money. I do not know how to do anything else.”
On her philanthropic goals:
“I really want to delve into my philanthropy. I want to start different NGOs to help women, to help young girls.’’
On advice for emerging artists
“Cherish the beginning. A lot of artists rush to the top, but once you are there, you face pressures — streams, concerts, obligations. When you start, you are free to create without limitations. Build a strong foundation, so when opinions come at you, you do not lose yourself.”
