Nigerian music sensation Tems, has unveiled the music video for her single “Burning”, a track from her debut album “Born In the Wild”.
The video’s release on August 5, 2024, was initially delayed due to nationwide protests in Nigeria, sparked by economic hardship and the cost of living crisis following President Bola Tinubu’s reforms.
The protests, which began on August 1st, saw demonstrators take to the streets across various states, demanding a reversal of the PMS and power subsidy removals and calling for reduced governance costs.
Amidst this backdrop, Tems’ music video offers a striking contrast, showcasing her walking through the vibrant streets of New York, particularly Times Square, as she sings “Burning”.
Tems’ debut album “Born In the Wild” has garnered significant attention, with “Burning” being the third single release, following “Me & U” and “Love Me Jeje”, which interpolates lines from Seyi Sodimu & Shaffy Bello’s classic song.
The album’s success has propelled Tems into a world tour, where she has performed her popular singles, including “Free Mind” and “Higher”, to enthusiastic fans.
Tems’ accolades continue to grow, with her recent win at the 2024 BET Awards for Best Gospel/Inspirational for “Me & U”, adding to her previous three wins.
This recognition solidifies her position as one of Africa’s biggest musical exports, earning her numerous awards and acclaim.
As Tems’ career soars, her music serves as a testament to her talent and dedication. With “Burning” and her debut album “Born In the Wild”, Tems continues to captivate audiences worldwide, cementing her status as a rising star in the global music scene.
Her success inspires fans and solidifies her position as a leading voice in African music.
