The album review by TWmagazine that got Tiwa Savageangry!

Two days ago, Tiwa Savage lashed out at two
editors of TW magazine over a review of her new
album which was published in the magazine.
Reading the review, I kinda understand why Tiwa
was upset. The review was kinda insensitive
considering Tiwa was their cover girl for the
month.
Find their review of the album, Once Upon A
Time, below...

'Once Upon A Time opens with a Disney
inspired fairy tale account of Tiwa
Savage’s relationship with her manager
Tunji ‘TBillz’ Balogun. Wanted, potent and
upbeat reggae track, works as a great
opener. Her lower register mode of singing
works on Ileke, – a roll call for females to
shake their booty – but fails miserably on
others like Ejim Afia and Baby Mo.
Tiwa Svaage is the first and foremost an
RnB artiste and she doesn’t hide her
natural comfort zone on quite a number of
tracks as Olorun Mi, Middle Passage and
Get Low. Her foray in pop music isn’t a
total disaster, her Kele Kele and Love me
x3 are exquisitely crafted pieces but the
subtle Folarin fails to blow the mind. With
21 songs, one has to dig deep to find the
real substance with too many fillers, too
much autotune and too much Don Jazzy.
However for a debut album, it’s a
commendable effort’.
Too much auto-tune and too much Don Jazzy?
Wow! I was at the listening party and I was
blown away by a lot of the songs I heard. As far
as I'm concerned, Once Upon A Time is a good
album!
