Nigerian international singer-songwriter, Tems is finally giving her fans what they’ve been waiting for: a full-length album. But before the album drops, she’s whetting appetites with a brand new single, Love Me Jeje.
For years, Tems has been a formidable force. Her voice, both powerful and raspy, has graced RIAA-certified tracks and landed Billboard Hot 100 entries, all without a single full-length album to her name. But that’ll change in the coming weeks as she sets the stage for the arrival of her debut album.
The announcement of her debut album, Born In The Wild, earlier this month sent shockwaves of exciting through social media. Now, with Love Me Jeje out, that excitement reaches a fever pitch. Produced by Ghanaian beatmaker GuiltyBeatz, the song is a love letter set to music. The title itself translates to “Love Me Gently,” and the lyrics paint a picture of Tems yearning for a tender, all-encompassing love. She graces the song with lyrics like “I need your loving, so fresh so clean, love me in and out, I’m feeling it, and I’ll be down anytime you call me,” desiring genuine connection.
Apparently, Love Me Jeje is as a delicious appetizer for the album, Born In The Wild. It’s an opportunity for fans to savor in the latest version of Tems while they await the full album’s release in May.
Get ready, let Love Me Jeje wash over you, and prepare for the album, Born In The Wild, when it arrives next month. The future of African music undeniably sweet, and Tems is one of those leading the way.
Listen to Love Me Jeje here.
