Tems Drops New Single “Love Me Jeje” from Upcoming Album “Born in the Wild”

 

Tems, the sensational Nigerian artist, has blessed us with her latest single, “Love Me Jeje,” giving us a taste of what’s to come from her much-anticipated debut album, “Born in the Wild,” set to drop next month.

Now, let’s break it down: “Jeje” means “softly” or “gently” in Nigerian slang, and Tems captures that essence perfectly with her heartfelt lyrics and smooth guitar-laden groove. “If not you, then I don’t wanna know, I don’t want no story,” she croons, expressing her desire for a love that’s unconditional and gentle, just the way we like it.

But here’s the kicker: Tems didn’t just whip up this magic out of thin air. Oh no, she pays homage to Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 Nigerian hit of the same name by incorporating an interpolation into her track. Talk about bridging generations and keeping the vibe alive!

Produced by the dynamic duo Spax and Guiltybeatz, “Love Me Jeje” is a testament to Tems’ growth as an artist since her debut single, “Mr. Rebel,” six years ago. With hits like “Damages” and “Free Mind” under her belt, plus memorable features on tracks like Wizkid’s “Essence,” Tems has solidified her place in the industry as a force to be reckoned with.

And let’s not forget her recent stint at Coachella, where she wowed audiences with her soulful performance and even brought out heavyweights like Wizkid and Justin Bieber. With more gigs lined up for the summer, including appearances at festivals in the Netherlands and Switzerland, Tems is showing no signs of slowing down.

So, if you’re looking for a vibe that’s equal parts nostalgic and fresh, look no further than Tems’ “Love Me Jeje.” It’s the perfect soundtrack for those moments when you just want to take it easy and let love flow, Nigerian style.
