Tiwa Savage and Skepta Deliver Intimate Chemistry in On The Low Visual

Tiwa Savage, the Queen of Afrobeats, joins forces with grime royalty Skepta for On The Low, a captivating glimpse into her upcoming album, This One Is Personal.

The collaboration feels remarkably organic, drawing from both artists’ shared London connections and mutual respect built over years of championing each other’s work.

Produced by Rymez, the track strips away typical Afrobeats exuberance for something more vulnerable.

Tiwa’s vocals carry an aching tenderness whilst Skepta’s restrained flow adds a gravelly texture to the sultry R&B foundation.

Their chemistry delves into the intricate dynamics of complex relationships. The thrill of secrecy competing against the desire for genuine connection.

The visual treatment matches the song’s intimate mood, avoiding flashy production values for moments that feel genuinely personal.

This artistic choice aligns perfectly with Tiwa’s broader creative vision for the album, which was recorded across multiple continents over two years, during what she describes as both “dark times” and brighter periods.

On The Low represents a significant artistic statement from Tiwa, who continues building on recent momentum from “You4Me” and her show-stopping Meltdown Festival performance.

Rather than relying on familiar Afrobeats formulas, she demonstrates remarkable artistic maturity by embracing vulnerability.

For Skepta, the collaboration showcases his versatility beyond grime’s typical boundaries, proving his ability to adapt his signature style to complement rather than dominate.

The track succeeds because both artists resist the temptation to overshadow each other, instead creating space for genuine musical conversation.

As anticipation builds for This One Is Personal (dropping 29th August), On The Low suggests Tiwa is prepared to reveal new creative depths whilst maintaining her position as Afrobeats’ leading voice.

Tiwa Savage’s album, This One Is Personal drops on August 29th.
