Music Review: “Jaiye Foreign,” by Tiwa Savage ft Zinoleesky

Jaiye is a song by a beautiful Nigerian songstress, Tiwa Savage. The song features sensational Nigerian singer and songwriter, Zinoleesky. 

“Jaiye,” is a Yoruba word in Nigeria that means to live or enjoy your life. “Jaiye Foreign,” means “To live or enjoy,” life in a foreign way.

The song premiered on Thursday, 11th August 2022. The lyrics are confusing and jumbled from other singers’ lyrics. I expected more lyrically and rhythmically.

What is Jaiye Foreign by Tiwa Savage ft Zinoleesky all about?

“Jaiye Foreign,” by Tiwa Savage ft Zinoleesky is a love song where the artists desire the warm embrace of each other even while trying to decipher what their relationship means. They desire to know if it is a real one or just a s-xual relationship or a no-string attached relationship.

In the latter part, you can however tell that it is more of a s-xual relationship since Zinoleesky confesses to loving his music more than any other thing. He also said if he had confessed love to her, it must be that he was drunk. Zinoleesky however still desires Tiwa’s presence around him because of the way she pleases him. He vows to take care of her and make her enjoy life in a foreign way.

What do you all think?
