Tems Releases Surprise EP 'Love Is a Kingdom,' Largely Self-Produced

The seven-song project underscores her near-total creative control.

Overview

  • The EP arrives via RCA Records/Since '93 and was launched with a new video.
  • Tems produced, composed, and wrote almost the entire project herself.
  • Across seven tracks, the music explores love, power, and spiritual clarity through soul, R&B, and Afropop.
  • The sequencing runs from opener “First” through “I’m Not Sure,” “Big Daddy,” “Lagos Love,” “Mine,” “What You Need,” and closer “Is There a Reason?”.
  • Early critical notes from Rolling Stone describe a confrontation of doubters alongside space for calm and reflection.
