Born in the wild, this is the title of the album by the singer Tems released at the beginning of this month. She talks about her rise and her “birth” to music. The Nigerian star is currently on a world tour to promote this album.
In the ever-growing gallery of Nigerian showbiz royalty, Tems occupies a special place. The London native who grew up in Lagos was last year the first Nigerian singer to win a Grammy Award in the United States. The culmination of a career that began in 2019 with the hit Try MeThe one that the princes of Afrobeats – Wizkid, Davido and even the Canadian rapper Drake – have been taking with them in their carriage for several years for collaborative singing tours is also a soloist determined to sit alone at the top of Olympus.
Born in the wild and its eighteen tracks are the fruit of long months of reflection and work in the company of Italian-Ghanaian producer and beatmaker Guiltybeatz. The result is simple melodies, sometimes simplistic, but always very effective, put to the service of a voice that has gradually become one of the most attractive on the Nigerian scene. Born in the wild which allows Tems to develop the full spectrum of her vocal talent is also an introspective exercise, and from time to time narcissistic, where the singer looks back on her career, her ambitions and her dreams.
Tems and his composite r’n’b from which amapiano or afrobeats rhythms emerge, it is also the thread of a personal story experienced as an irresistible ascent towards success.
