The GRAMMY Award-winning, Oscar nominated singer, songwriter, and producer Tems, is having an unforgettable year. Just a few days after kicking off NPR’s Black Music Month with an amazing Tiny Desk Performance, the Nigerian superstar debuts her highly anticipated debut album, Born In The Wild.
Tems’ new project contains 18 tracks, including the previously released “Love Me JeJe.” The album also features guest appearances from Asake and J. Cole. “Born In The Wild is a story of transformation, from a cocoon to a butterfly,” she said in a statement. “It speaks on surviving mental wilderness and coming to a place where one can thrive. It’s about finally accepting oneself and embodying the woman I was born to be. It shows the different dimensions of who I am, from a cub to a lioness.”
In addition to today’s release, the “Essence” singer will also embark on her first ever headlining world tour this summer, the BORN IN THE WILD WORLD TOUR. The global outing kicks off on Wednesday, June 12 in London at Eventim Apollo, with stops across Europe and North America before heading to Africa and wrapping up in Australia at The Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on November 15.
