Tems has released the music video to her track “Burning” from her latest album “Born In The Wild.”
The music video’s release was originally slated for August 1st but was postponed until today due to the ongoing nationwide protest.
“Out of respect for the ongoing protest at home, I have decided to postpone the release of ‘Burning’ music video. Praying for the safety of those outside at this time. May the voice of the people be heard,” Tems wrote via X (formerly Twitter).
She describes “Burning” as a reflection on the overwhelming feelings she experienced when she first started gaining popularity.
She says “Burning‘ is about the feelings I felt when I first started getting popular as Tems. I didn’t really understand what was happening, and everything was happening so fast… It’s about me looking back on that time and realising that we are all going through something.
We all have our internal battles, our struggles, and our triggers… ‘Burning’ is really about understanding that I have my triggers too, and now I know that I’m not alone”
Her debut album Born in the Wild is breaking ground for the Nigerian Superstar, and she’s ready to take on the next level of greatness. You can watch the video here.
What we think about Burning’s Video by Tems
The visuals to the song that’s supposed to reflect her journey to becoming Tems is a beautifully shot piece of art. Does it however convey the same message the song is trying to pass across? Definitely. She’s on the road, on a journey, searching for somethin. She finds herself in the middle of the street at the end of the video with billboards carrying her face surrounding her. She soaks it all in and savors the moment. It’s evident that a lot of thought went into the creative aspect of the video and it’s nice to see music videos matching with the song lyrics or content.
