Grammy-winning Nigerian sensation Tems has released the music video for her single ‘Burning’, a track from her debut album ‘Born In the Wild’. The video, initially delayed due to nationwide protests in Nigeria, premiered on August 5, 2024.
The protests, which began on August 1, were a response to economic hardship and the cost of living crisis following President Bola Tinubu’s reforms. Demonstrators demanded a reversal of fuel and power subsidy removals and reduced governance costs.
Shot in New York’s iconic Times Square, the video features Tems performing ‘Burning’, the third single from her 18-track album. The album has already spawned hits like ‘Me & U’ and ‘Love Me Jeje’, which samples Seyi Sodimu & Shaffy Bello’s classic song.
Tems is currently on a world tour, thrilling fans with performances of ‘Free Mind’, ‘Higher’, and other popular singles. Her wins include the 2024 BET Award for Best Gospel/Inspirational for ‘Me & U’, adding to her previous three awards.”
