Tems continues her ascend with her new EP, ‘If Orange Was A Place.’

The five-track set lands on the heels of the singer’s smash hit Wizkid collaboration ‘Essence,’ an appearance on Drake‘s ‘Certified Lover Boy,’ and in tandem with her unveiling as Apple Music‘s latest Up Next artist.

With this project, the songbird hatches a flavorsome blend of jams that fuse her Afro roots with soulful R&B. It also places her uniquely versatile voice on center-stage.

Hotly tipped as one to watch, Tems is magnetizing the attention on a global scale.

Emeli Sande has set sail on a new musical journey and has shared the first page of her new chapter.

Today, the award-winning songwriter unwrapped single ‘Family’ – which serves as the premiere taste of her forthcoming studio album.

The set, which follows 2019’s ‘Real Life,’ will be Sande’s first offering since signing with indie label Chrysalis Records.

Speaking on her return, Sande said:

“‘Family’ marks a new beginning on many levels for me. It’s an ode to resilience, rebirth, and renewal! It was created last year in my home studio, a time and place in which I felt more creative freedom than ever before. I hope that it uplifts and empowers each listener!”
