Tiwa Savage has released a video of her recent single ‘You4Me’ on Wednesday.
The singer announced the song on her YouTube account with the message, “I hope you it as much as I do.”
An Afro RnB ‘You4Me’ samples an 18-year-old song ‘So Into You’ by American singer, Tamia. Tamia went on to release a remix of the song featuring American rapper Fabulous.
In ‘You4Me’, Tiwa Afrobeats brings Afrobeats flavour to the song, alongside her original lyrics delivered in her unique sing-slow rap soft vocal.
The sample occurs in the chorus – “I really like you (for me) (6x), I am into you.” And rather than a softer take on love, of a younger woman, You4Me speaks of a strong, independent and diva-ish woman, who still saves all her love for her partner, and equal, who can handle it, and gives her room to be her.
Hear the lyric: “I am a diva but still a keeper. It’s your ability for stability, is how you keep me held in captivity, oh! me like. See my equal, Just like magic, Drive me loco, Automatic, So electric, Roboto (2x). You give me, Such lessons, I can’t hack it, So spiritual, Fresh out a package, I wrap my bandage on you, It’s only you for me.”
The singer’s choice of a simple studio setting with the shadowed background dancers, keeps the focus easily on the song, her smooth movements and swag, which adds the video/song’s aesthetics.
Netizens were having a banging time with the song, than a nostalgic feeling it rouses for some of the 90s music genre.
