It explores the timing of the release, the creative direction Tems has been building since Born in the Wild, and the expectations surrounding this new body of work.


This is a pre EP reaction that helps listeners understand the context behind the drop. It highlights Tems artistic growth, her continued global momentum, and the emotional themes hinted at by the title Love Is a Kingdom. It is clear, informative and perfect for anyone searching for updates on Tems, new Nigerian music or the evolution of her sound.


A full breakdown of every track will follow after a proper listen. For now, this episode sets the stage for what Tems has just introduced to the world.


At Artiste Hangout with Femi Makx, the conversation starts where the music ends. Hosted by music journalist Femi Makx, this isn't a typical interview show; it's a deep, meandering exploration of how the sounds we love are forged. Each episode is built on the premise that a song is never just a song-it's a product of identity, a response to power structures, a spark of creativity shaped by its time. You'll hear long-form, in-depth conversations that deliberately wander, connecting artistic choices to the wider currents of youth culture and social change. The podcast operates from a simple, powerful idea: to examine music not as a passive soundtrack, but as an active, living commentary. This means peeling back the layers of a hit record to find the personal and political stories underneath, or understanding how a specific creative scene reflects broader shifts in society. The analysis is thoughtful and the atmosphere is more like a candid backstage chat than a formal Q&A. It’s for anyone who listens to a track and wonders about the world that made it, who sees the artist as a citizen and their work as a cultural artifact. Tune in for a perspective that treats the creative landscape with the seriousness it deserves, making each episode a hangout that challenges how you hear everything.
