Nigerian superstar Tems delivers her debut album, Born in the Wild. Of course, that interim has been characterised by a trajectory that’s trended upward at almost every turn. 
 

Over 18 tracks, Tems cracks open her journal through those career highs, and reveals how the person behind them grappled with it all.

It’s all brought to life through Tems’ usual brand of honest, mature storytelling—and here, as ever, the centrepiece remains a distinctive voice that simultaneously balances multiple layers of raw, delicate emotion and a natural, unforced ease.
 

That reflective songwriting shows a sonic maturity that’s unrestricted by genre: She traverses from R&B (“Burning”) to fusions of Afrobeats and amapiano (“Get It Right”), balanced with celebrations of culture and heritage, like her reimagined version of Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit, the breezy “Love Me JeJe”.
