Her neo-soul voice is simultaneously soft and powerful, with Afrobeat dynamics influenced by traditional Nigerian sounds. Blurring the boundaries of the genre, Tems obtains an unclassifiable style and that is just fine by her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In her new groovy track &#8220;Damages,&#8221; she asks her lover to take a stance in the relationship, making their intentions loud and clear. It is with true sincerity that she writes the lyrics of her tracks, as well as producing most of them, except for a few additional productions courtesy of Oddio, Spax and Omeiza.The young singer has also collaborated with artists such as Khalid, Disclosure, Davido, Wizkid, Show Dem Camp, DRB Lasgidi and Odunsi, her closest collaborator. The new voice of the alternative R&amp;B scene is well and truly established.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listen to Tems in our playlist Songs of the Week on <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/spoti.fi\/2Pz0eyg\" target=\"_blank\">Spotify<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (s\u2019ouvre dans un nouvel onglet)\" href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/30zVbUA\" target=\"_blank\">Deezer<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EP <em>For Broken Ears<\/em> will be realesed on September 25th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Damages\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4lU0DnT89_c?feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>\u00ab Damages \u00bb &#8211; Tems<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1518\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min-1010x1518.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min-1010x1518.jpeg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min-759x1141.jpeg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min-2048x3078.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min-1440x2164.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min-661x994.jpeg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min-465x699.jpeg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min-375x564.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/5481c8fc-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-min.jpeg 3596w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption>\u00a9 Jerusa Nyakundi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"680\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1-1010x680.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-60373\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1-1010x680.jpeg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1-759x511.jpeg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1-2048x1379.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1-1440x969.jpeg 1440w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1-661x445.jpeg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1-465x313.jpeg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1-375x252.jpeg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/f0d80c81-credit_-jerusa-nyakundi-1.jpeg 5109w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><figcaption> \u00a9 Jerusa Nyakundi <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Nigerian star presents her new track &#8220;Damages&#8221; from her EP For Broken Ears.
