SPOTIFY PREMIERES TEMS’ LAGOS CONCERT FILM AS DEBUT EP REACHES 888M STREAMS

Global music streaming platform Spotify has premiered a concert film featuring Nigerian singer Tems' performance in Lagos, as her debut extended play, For Broken Ears, surpasses 888 million streams on the platform.

The development highlights the singer's growing international influence and the continued global popularity of Nigerian music.

The concert film captures Tems performing before a live audience in Lagos, offering fans an opportunity to experience highlights of her stage performance and connect with her music beyond audio streaming.

The project also celebrates the success of For Broken Ears, which was released in September 2020 and introduced listeners to songs that helped establish Tems as one of Nigeria's leading alternative R&B and Afrobeats artists.

The EP features tracks including Free Mind, Damages, Higher and The Key. Its success, particularly the global popularity of Free Mind, helped expand Tems' audience beyond Nigeria and strengthen her presence in international music markets.

Tems has since built an impressive career through solo releases and collaborations with major international artists. Her contributions to global music have earned her Grammy recognition and established her as one of Africa's most influential contemporary performers.

Spotify's premiere of the Lagos concert film reflects the platform's growing investment in showcasing African artists and documenting significant moments in their musical journeys.

The achievement also reinforces the commercial strength of Nigerian music on digital streaming platforms, where local artists continue to attract millions of listeners across different countries.

With For Broken Ears reaching another major streaming milestone, Tems' influence continues to demonstrate the global reach of Nigerian music and the growing demand for African creative talent.
