Tems has revealed her debut album, Born in the Wild, will be released on June 7th via RCA Records/Since ’93. What’s more, the Nigerian singer has announced a supporting world tour across the UK, Europe, North America, and Australia.
Born in the Wild follows Tems’ two EPs, For Broken Ears and If Orange Was a Place. It includes her recent single, “Love Me JeJe,” which interpolates Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 Nigerian classic of the same name. See the artwork below, and pre-orders for the album are ongoing.
The “Born in the Wild World Tour” kicks off in London on June 12th and will stop in European cities including Paris, Berlin, and Amsterdam. Then, Tems will begin the North American leg in Miami Beach on August 22nd, continuing through New York City, Toronto, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Washington, DC before heading to Australia.
There will be a Live Nation pre-sale beginning on Wednesday, May 15th (use access code SOUNDCHECK) in anticipation of the general on-sale taking place on Friday, May 17th via Ticketmaster.
You can also find deals and sold-out tickets at StubHub, where orders are 100% guaranteed through StubHub’s FanProtect program. StubHub is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.

After guesting on Wizkid’s hit single “Essence” and Drake’s “Fountains,” Tems broke out as a solo artist in 2022 with a cover of Bob Marley’s “No Woman, No Cry” featured in a trailer for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever and the Hot 100 hit “Free Mind.”
After being recruited by Rihanna to co-write “Life Me Up” and Beyoncé to guest on the Renaissance cut “Move,” Tems followed up with the 2023 singles “Me & U” and “Not an Angel.”
