Well, at least on the blog... She is far from needing introduction, matter of fact you can call her a regular in the music industry... Apparently, Tiwa has sang backup for several big names like George Michael, Mary J Blige, Kelly Clarkson and more... Now getting ready to release her album in 2007, the few songs I have heard on her myspace page are not the norm at all.
Some might say that she is "creative", but I will prefer to say that she is unconventional... you can sense that she is not necessarily following any rules/formula, her songs tell the story.. On my first listen, the hook on "Middle Passage" threw me off. Tiwa sang it in Yoruba, "ibi to lu a so, ma tele e lo..." (where-ever you say I will go....)it was unexpected and well sung...
"Walk on by" and "Beautiful Night" are the other songs on her page, from listening to those 2 songs, you can sense that she might be a Jazz junkie; they are both soothing and have a jazzy/grown feel to them ... I am sure she has a host of fresh music on her upcoming album....
Check her out and let me know your thoughts?
Thanks foe visting my blog and I will be back to visit your blog again

Hi Demola, i just discovered you via your comment on someone's blog. I can't find your profile however- where do you live? I ask because if you live in London, you'd have seen this lovely Tiwa girl audition for the X factor last year. She was so good and got through to boot camp. I still don't understand why Sharon Osbourne dropped her at the last minute, considering that she was the BEST in her group. I was so upset and cried with her; so you can imagine how chuffed i am to now read this post of yours. I'm happy she found success at last. She's well deserving of it. She got a scholarship from Nigeria to go to the States to study music and she soooo took good advantage of it, excelling in her studies whilst doing back up singing for these A listers you mentioned and more. I really like her and wish her the best.
Nice blog dude. Would be back to scour through your archives. Stay cool.
Peace out.
