She made this known during a discussion about her pregnancy experience as a musician on Afrobeats Intelligence.

Savage explained that her struggles with vocal range necessitated changing some of the song keys on the album.

“I was pregnant when I recorded ‘R.E.D’,” she recounted. “I would be in the studio crying with my big belly. It was a struggle to record the album.”

I changed the key of some of the songs in the album because being pregnant affected how I could hit some notes.

Savage also shared a heartwarming anecdote about her time at Mavin Records, where she was the first artist to have a baby.

“I was the first person to have a baby in Mavin, so whenever they notice my energy is going down, Jazzy will tell them to get me my cravings, which are eggs and bread,” she fondly recalled.
