Temilade Openiyi, the Nigerian singer fondly called Tems, has come through with a new single titled ‘Not An Angel’.
The new song was released on streaming platforms in the early hours of Friday.
In ‘Not An Angel’, the Grammy-winning singer rids herself of a romantic relationship that is past its prime.
“I was a loner/ When I was with you I would have given myself for you/ Now I’m changing over/ I’m moving on now/ No turning back, I can’t be with you/ I don’t need you looking for me,” she sings.
“All you did was give me nothing/ Overthinking every morning/ Take me out your life cause I’m not an angel/ I’m just a girl that knows the truth/ And I couldn’t save you/ You couldn’t see what I’ve been through/ I’ll cut my losses in peace.”
Tems gained global recognition in 2020, courtesy of her collaboration with Wizkid on the song ‘Essence’.
She has since established herself as a prominent figure in the Nigerian music industry, earning several awards and accolades.
In February, the songstress won her first-ever Grammy award.
She bagged the ‘Best Melodic Rap Performance’ category for her role in ‘Wait for U’, the 2022 hit song by Future featuring Drake.
In August, Tems opened up about the reason she ditched Afrobeats for R&B.
The singer said Afrobeats was not giving her the type of “spiritual stimulation” she wanted.
The songstress added that she “was prepared to die” for her belief and stick with R&B.
Tems was recently honoured by TIME magazine and listed among their top 100 for 2023.
