Tems Releases Empowering New Track “Not an Angel”

Nigerian musical sensation TEMS, recognized for her GRAMMY-Award and Oscar nominations, graces fans with her latest track, “Not an Angel,” released through SINCE ’93/RCA RECORDS. The song, entirely written by Tems and co-produced alongside SARZ, is a testament to her artistry and resilience.

In a statement about the track, TEMS shared, “This song is about knowing your worth and moving on in life from anything holding you back.” With powerful lyrics and emotive melodies, “Not an Angel” reflects themes of self-worth and liberation, showcasing TEMS’ ability to weave personal experiences into her music.

Following closely on the heels of her recent release, “Me & U,” which marked her solo return after a two-year hiatus, TEMS continues to captivate global audiences. “Me & U” has garnered over 45 million streams and secured a prominent position on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart for more than seven weeks. The track’s success attests to TEMS’ growing influence in the music industry.

Earlier this year, TEMS achieved significant milestones, winning her first GRAMMY AWARD for her contribution to FUTURE’s triple-platinum single “Wait for U.” Additionally, she received an ACADEMY AWARD nomination for Best Original Song for her work on “Lift Me Up,” the lead single from the BLACK PANTHER: WAKANDA FOREVER soundtrack.

Notably, TEMS’ chart-topping single “Free Mind” from her 2020 EP, “For Broken Ears,” became the longest-leading #1 song by a lead female artist on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart. The track is now RIAA-certified platinum, securing TEMS’ place as a trailblazer in the industry. Her latest EP, “If Orange Was a Place,” features the hit single “Higher,” which has achieved RIAA Gold certification.

As TEMS continues to break barriers and redefine success, “Not an Angel” stands as another testament to her artistic brilliance and unwavering commitment to creating music that resonates with audiences globally.
