Nigerian singer Tems has set the stage for the release of her upcoming single, “Love Me Jeje,” paying tribute to Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 hit. Known as Mr. Jeje, Seyi Sodimu gained fame with his chart-topping single, which became a sensation in Nigeria during the late ’90s and early 2000s.
Tems’ rendition of “Love Me Jeje” is scheduled for an official release on April 26. The announcement comes on the heels of her mesmerizing performance of the song at Coachella, where the track’s catchy chorus won over the audience.
Seyi Sodimu expressed his pride in Tems’ rendition in a heartwarming response. “This made my day. The beautiful thing about music is that it transcends generations and connects us through time. Shoutout to Tems and her team, and congrats on a wonderful Coachella performance,” he shared.
Sodimu’s original version featured the talented Shaffy Bello, and with her fresh take on the classic, Tems aims to achieve a similar level of success.”Love Me Jeje” marks Tems’ first single release since announcing her debut album, “Born in the World,” set to launch in May.
Last year, her singles “Me & U” and “Not an Angel” soared to No. 3 on Billboard’s U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart, setting high expectations for her upcoming album.
