R.E.D, an acronym for Romance, Expression, and Dance, is Tiwa Savage’s second studio album, released in late 2015. The project marked a great point in her career, blending Afropop, R&B, and soulful melodies with deeper emotional storytelling.
The album looks at themes of love, strength, and femininity while showcasing Tiwa’s versatility as both a vocalist and songwriter. Production was handled by important collaborators like Don Jazzy and Baby Fresh, maintaining that signature Mavin Records sound, smooth, rhythmic, and radio-ready.
Great songs include “My Darling”, “African Waist” (feat. Don Jazzy), and “If I Start to Talk” (feat. Dr SID). R.E.D cemented Tiwa Savage’s position as the “Queen of Afrobeats,” earning critical praise for its cohesion, emotional depth, and genre-blending appeal.
