Tiawa's debut album Moonlit Train is a conceptual record that maps a metaphorical train journey from relationships through to healing and liberation. Gently easing between soul, 90s hip-hop and Latin-folk that harks back to Tiawa's Portuguese heritage, the inspiration for the LP comes from the rebellious spirit of reggae, the pace of lyricism in reggaeton, and the romanticism of doo-wop. “Each song on the album is part of an emotional journey. I hope it helps to heal people in serious situations and makes them feel better afterwards. Saudade is the introduction to Moonlit Train and opens with a Portuguese poem that translates to 'don't be sad now, I'm going to play a song for you’, in the background you can hear the movement of a train on the tracks…” Tiawa explains.
