Tems Stands On Faith In “Me & U” Music Video
Tems is back. The Nigerian-born R&B singer returns with “Me & U.”
In the ethereal music video directed by the “Free Mind” performer herself, the 28-year-old dances to the rhythm of glistening waves. “‘Me & U’ is about discovering the real me, building a genuine relationship with the Creator, and gaining a true perception of self,” explained Tems in a statement.
“Only me and you,” repeats the Grammy Award-winning artist on the hook of the Guilty Beatz-produced track.
“Me & U” stands as Tems’ first solo release since her 2021 EP If Orange Was A Place. During an interview with The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music 1, the vocalist shared how she actually created the newly released track around the same time.
“So funny thing is I actually created this in 2021,” Tems detailed.
“It was around the time I shot the video for ‘Essence’, and when I heard it, I just went into a trance and I was having a conversation with God about… I’m not sure what it was, I was just in a trance, and I didn’t remember what I had done until I recorded it, but it really was just about the conversation surrounding commitment and faith. I think when you create anything, period, you’re tapping into something spiritual because you’re creating something from nothing. I think music is very spiritual no matter what it sounds like, no matter where it’s from, no matter whether it’s acknowledged or not. I think music always has an energy and I just want to be as honest as I can in my music.”
