Doro diva!
Since Tiwa Savage came on the music scene she has set a standard for herself in terms of music, style and class.
The gorgeous Mavin Crew artist and mum-to-be is one of the four covers stars of Blanck
Magazine’s latest issue (click here if you missed it)
and in the magazine she talks about about returning home, her massive
successes and controversies as well as her thoughts on feminism and over
sexualisation of music videos.
Read excerpts from her interview below!
On using nudity and over sexualisation as a selling point:
Definitely not! There are a lot of sexy women in the industry and I’m
still selling. So if it was just sexiness that sells my music, people
would have forgotten about me by now. But first and foremost, the music
is important, everything else is a part of a package and I think that
people generally know that music is in me and is my first love. I
studied music, so I always concentrate more on it. If the music is right
then everything is packaging. They are the things we use in drawing
attention to the brand. For me, I think my brand has a heathy balance.
All my videos tell different stories about the individual behind the
music.
On being a feminist:
No! I don’t think I am. (Laughs). Ok, may be a passive feminist. With
regards to baring one’s body on stage, I don’t think it’s proper to
attack the ladies for doing this, while you give nods to their male
counterparts for doing the exact same thing. I think people need to
learn how to separate the job from who the artist really is. What you do
on stage is a job and not necessarily who you are. There’s a time for
everything. God created sex and we are supposed to be sexy as well as we
are wholesome; smart, intelligent etc. There are times when I know I’m
supposed to appear on stage in a classy and simple but cute dress but
there are other times where I’m expected to take some fashion risks
depending on the kind of crowd I am performing to.
