But they always used to have a good ending, a happy ending-a Cinderella ending. But it was all these made-up stories, like ‘The tortoise came, and the tortoise stole wheat’ and this and that, or 'The witch flew over the moon'-those kinds of crazy stories.

Growing up, there was this TV show I used to watch called Tales by Moonlight, and this woman or this man would sit under this tree, with 10 kids sitting in front, and they’d tell them stories. There’s a line in the chorus which says, 'I won’t lose the crown on my head.' It’s talking about how you wouldn’t have let me suffer or gone through this heartache if you were really the crown that was meant for my head.” “Traditionally your significant other is referred to as the crown of your head.

Named after the staple cassava dish and released in two parts, Water & Garri mashes together the sounds and styles of global collaborators along with her own. As the follow-up to her acclaimed third album, 2020’s Celia, Water & Garri unifies Nigerian soul singer-songwriter Tiwa Savage’s global influences-gleaned from spending primary years in Lagos, teenage years in London, and attending university in the US-into a collage of R&B, Afrobeats and pop.
