Nigerian singer and songwriter Tems has announced the release date for her highly anticipated album, ‘Born in the Wild.’

The album is set to drop on June 7th. In a heartfelt message to her fans, she

expressed her gratitude and excitement. “This is my most special moment. Everything I have, I put into this. Thank you all so much for believing in me,” she said.

Tems, born Temilade Openiyi, is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer known for her unique musical style. Her music is a blend of Alternative R&B and Afrobeats, which sets her apart from many artists within the Nigerian music scene.

Also, her voice has been described as deep, velvety, and androgynous. Despite the common perception that all songs out of Africa are Afrobeats, Tems has clarified that the type of music she creates is more aligned with R&B.

This was evident in her first project, ‘For Broken Ears’, where she had categorized the genre as R&B.

Throughout her career, Tems has received many accolades, including a Grammy Award, a Billboard Women in Music Award, four NAACP Image Awards, three BET Awards, and three Soul Train Music Awards.

In addition, Tems delivered a memorable performance at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. She surprised fans by bringing out Justin Bieber and Wizkid during her set to perform their hit song ‘Essence.’

Tems’ set also included a debut of her new song, ‘Love Me JeJe.’

Her upcoming debut studio album ‘Born
in the Wild’ is eagerly awaited by her fans.

This is my most special moment. Everything I have I put into this. Thank you all so much for believing in me.
