During a recent conversation with comedian Basketmouth, the Consul General, Will Stevens was posed with the question of naming his favorite Afrobeats artiste and he promptly named Tems.
He commended Tems’ distinct vocals, acknowledging that he felt a sense of euphoria while listening to her music.
Will Stevens stated:
“My favourite Afrobeats artist? It got to be Tems. That voice… I got a little bit of a crunch just listening to her. And on the Black Panther, when she sings ‘No Woman, No Cry’ by Bob Marley. She is incredible.”
Apart from Tems, the Consul General stated that he also tunes in to the sounds of other Afrobeats musicians like Asake, Fireboy, Davido and many more.
“I have met a bunch of Nigerian artists; Fireboy, Asake, Davido. I haven’t met Burna Boy but they are great guys. Wonderful people. I know Nigerian artistes and I jam to them a little bit. But Tems is the one that I can just tune in anytime,” he added.
In another story, Tyla reveals how Tems opened doors of global recognition for African female artists .
