Despite working as a professional vocalist for more than half her life, Tiwa Savage has come into her own as a solo artist only in the past few years. Now, after releasing two albums and a number of videos, she has established herself in the largely male world of Nigerian pop and recently signed with Roc Nation. She alternates between singing sweetly, sometimes with an autotune-altered timbre, or in a warm, lower tone over skittering synth rhythms. Those beats distinctively meld Nigerian patterns with American R&B, Jamaican dancehall, and Trinidadian soca. Read more >>> Tiwa Savage performs at 10 p.m. at Bliss, 2122 24th Place NE. $20–$150.
