    Nigerian superstar Tems has expressed her gratitude to everyone involved in bringing her debut album, ‘Born in the Wild,‘ to life. Released on Friday, June 7, 2024, the album features 18 tracks, including collaborations with artists like Asake on “Get It Right” and J. Cole on “Free Fall.”

    The LP also includes previously released singles such as “Love Me JeJe,” a reinterpretation of Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit, and “Me & U,” which was recently performed live during Tems’ “Tiny Desk” set.

    In a press release, Tems shared her perspective on the album, stating, “Born in the Wild is a story of transformation from a cocoon to a butterfly. 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.”

    The album marks Tems’ first major release in three years, following her EP ‘If Orange Was a Place.’ During this time, she won a Grammy for her contribution to Future’s “WAIT FOR U” and landed writing credits on works for Rihanna and Beyoncé.

    Taking to Twitter, Tems shared a behind-the-scenes clip of her studio debut’s creation, accompanied by a heartfelt voiceover. “One thing I’m grateful for is the people around me: My team, the group of producers that support me [and] encourage me to keep learning. Never did I think I’d experience that kind of support,” she expressed.

    Tems will support the album with the “Born In The Wild World Tour,” commencing on June 12 at London’s Eventim Apollo. The 31-date tour will feature special guests Naomi Sharon and Lekan, covering Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia before concluding with three dates in Australia in November. In the U.S., fans can catch her in Miami Beach, Orlando, Atlanta, New York, Toronto, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
