Tems has revealed a sneak peek of her upcoming album titled “Born in the Wild,” slated for release in May 2024.
Fresh from her electrifying performance at Coachella, she debuted a one-minute trailer on Monday, April 15, 2024.
The teaser offers glimpses of young children enjoying themselves in a park, hinting at Tems’ exploration of her journey from childhood to womanhood.
In this nostalgic video, scenes depict young Tems growing up in the Lagos suburbs, capturing moments in her humble home with her mother in the kitchen.
The trailer also unveils a track titled “Born in the Wild,” likely to be a centerpiece of the upcoming album.
During her Sunday performance at Coachella, where she joined Justin Bieber and Wizkid to perform “Essence,” Tems delighted the crowd with an unreleased track from “Born in the Wild,” which samples Seyi Sodimu’s beloved 1999 song “Love Me Jeje” from the “Born In Africa” album—a nostalgic favorite among Nigerians born in the ’90s.
This teaser and her recent performance highlight that the “Born in the Wild” album will delve into Tems’ upbringing and the cultural influences that have shaped her.
The album’s title notably resonates with Seyi Sodimu’s “Born in Africa,” showcasing a meaningful connection to Tems’ musical roots and inspirations.
