Tems: Tiny Desk Concert

Музыка

This Black Music Month, Tiny Desk is giving the ladies their flowers. We’re releasing nine Tiny Desk concerts from Black women artists, from veterans who’ve paved the way for what we hear today in Black music, to those who are carving out their own paths.
Bobby Carter | June 3, 2024
To hear Tems tell the audience that she was shy came as a surprise to me. As a performer, she captivates us with such ease and exudes confidence when she’s not, so to see her blushing as the crowd roared was sweet to witness. Unlike most artists who’ve performed at the Desk, the Nigerian singer-songwriter took a chance by playing a set filled with songs from her forthcoming debut album, Born in the Wild.
A lot has happened in Tems’ world since her Tiny Desk (home) concert a couple of years ago. She’s won dozens of awards including a Grammy, worked with Beyoncé and written for Rihanna, all of which helped to keep her name on our minds and music in the clubs. These new songs indicate time well spent between her breakout moment a few years ago and now. “Unfortunate” is less Afrobeats and more straightforward R&B, flexing her development as a writer. “Forever” is powerful in the way she reaches a vocal range I had no idea she could, while “Love Me JeJe” was the hands-down standout. At the time of the taping, the song had yet to be released, but the rhythm pierced the room and had us all in line for the call and response.

I did my first open mic night as an adult and what I did was close my eyes, take a deep breath, and look out into the crowd as if to say I’m not scared of y’all” but I was 😅😂 and I killed it. It helps also when what you’re saying is authentic. Tems is authentic and really feels her own music, so that’s why the shakiness goes away. Writing your music or at least experiencing what others wrote for you is the key.

    She said she’s shy and many people laughed it off. In people’s mind “no way she would performing for the world if she’s truly shy”. Open your eyes, Tems is a conservative, introverted shy lady, however she’s learnt to do her thing regardless of her shy nature. She’s a gem. 💎

    Love the unique tone to her voice, she has her own lane. She is what the streets are feeling, because the vibes are right, she produces and writes her songs, she plays in her vocal register. I like that she doesn’t let the haters dissuade her. God is on her side. Watch the interview on how she wrote (freestyled) and self-produced Ice T. When I saw that I said…oh she different. Exactly what naija needed.
