Tems has released a new music video for ‘Boy O Boy’, taken from her debut studio album ‘Born In The Wild’.
The black and white visual, directed by Loris Russier and written by Tems, explores themes of relationship struggles. The track appears on her debut album, released via RCA Records/Since ’93.
The Nigerian singer-songwriter recently made history at the 2025 Grammy Awards, becoming the first Nigerian artist to win multiple Grammy Awards after taking home Best African Music Performance for her single ‘Love Me JeJe’.
‘Born In The Wild’, released in June last year, has accumulated over 629 million streams worldwide and debuted at number 5 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart. Thirteen tracks from the album appeared on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart, while ‘Me & U’ and ‘Love Me JeJe’ both reached number 1 on the UK Afrobeats chart. ‘Burning’ and ‘Wickedest’ peaked at numbers 5 and 8 respectively.
The release follows recent videos for ‘Get It Right’ featuring Asake, directed by Laura Marciano, and ‘Turn Me Up’, also directed by Loris Russier. Tems has completed a global tour across the US, UK, Europe, Africa and Asia, including performances at The Greek in Los Angeles, Coachella, Glastonbury, and appearances on NPR’s Tiny Desk, The Late Night Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Jennifer Hudson Show, and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
