This new single which is like a snippet to her forthcoming album underlines the fact that Tiwa is going to remain in the musical game for a long time.
Dangerous Love is a song that has Pheelz the Mr producer of YBNL records uses the same template he uses for FireBoy DML. The track which has the same instrumental elements also has creativity written all over the lyrical composition. Tiwa harnessed every element that Pheelz used to make FireBoy’s album lit. The song will be a good international hit because of the use of pure English language in at least 85% of the vocals. The production of this song sounds like Fireboy was in the room when the lyrics was being crafted. A really dope beat with simple but nice lyrics.
THE MESSAGE
The song is about the helplessness of a lady to the one she really loves. Tiwa who sings from the perspective of a lady who is deeply in love with her man, calls the love she has for her man as a dangerous love.

THE PRODUCTION
The Beat is a simple ponpon beat laced with the usual Afrobeats shekere. What differentiates this beat from others is the skillful use of the baseline and electronic guitar. The Electronic guitar is played at different pitch and was even played as a slayer adding some rock music element to it. Although the rhythmic keys if just a basic grand piano sound; the way the baseline is bumped created a different type of energy.
Also there is attention given to the transitions of this beat. There is extensive work on the transitions and underlying sound effects to add color to the sound. This created a kind of cinematic effect to the beat mixing which is just unique. From hooming sound to alien sounds, this beat is a motion picture in music. Pheelz has come of age in production and it is showing in every song he has been producing.
