After much anticipation, Nigerian singer Tems has released her debut album, Born in the Wild, via RCA Records/Since 93′.
The 18-track offering was preceded by the singles “Me & U” and “Love Me JeJe.” The latter tune interpolates Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 classic of the same name.
“Born In The Wild is a story of transformation, from a cocoon to a butterfly,” explains Tems. “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.”
On June 16, Tems will kick off her headlining Born in the Wild World Tour at Eventim Apollo in London. Tems will perform across the U.K. and Europe, where she will conclude July 16 at Montreux Casino in Montreux, Switzerland.
The North American leg begins Aug. 22 at The Fillmore in Miami Beach. Tems will make additional stops in Dallas, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia and more before concluding Oct. 1 in Los Angeles.
The Australian leg commences Nov. 9 in Melbourne and concludes Nov. 15 in Sydney.
