Most people keep their 29th birthday celebrations lowkey. Drinks, dinner, something tame, knowing the real debauchery will come the following year. Not Tems. The Nigerian Afropop superstar celebrated hers yesterday with an unforgettable show at Hammersmith's Eventim Apollo, kicking off a six-month world tour that winds up in Australia in November.
And that’s not all she’s got to celebrate. Londoners have had exactly four days to learn the lyrics to Tems’ debut album Born in the Wild, which came out last Friday and has been greeted with huge critical acclaim. But despite having far less time to get to know the album than those in Sydney will, you’d think the crowd had been listening for years.
