Nigerian music sensation Tems is taking African music to another exciting level after being announced as the executive music producer of the soundtrack for the upcoming Hollywood movie, ‘Children of Blood and Bone’.
The project is already attracting international attention because of its impressive African music lineup and its connection to Yoruba mythology.
The movie is an adaptation of the bestselling fantasy novel by Nigerian-American author Tomi Adeyemi.
A newly released trailer has also given fans a taste of Tems’ original song, ‘African Love Song’, which is scheduled for release on November 20, 2026.
But the excitement does not end there.
Grammy-winning superstar Burna Boy is serving as executive music consultant, while other African music stars have also been brought on board.
The lineup includes Fireboy DML, BNXN, Ayra Starr, Obongjayar, Moelogo, Show Dem Camp and South African singer Moonchild Sanelly.
Tems is also contributing three original songs to the soundtrack.
The development represents another major international opportunity for Nigerian music, especially at a time when Afrobeats continues to gain recognition across different parts of the world.
For Tems, who has built an impressive international career through her unique sound and powerful collaborations, this is another opportunity to demonstrate her creative abilities beyond performing.
The movie itself tells a fantasy story inspired by African culture, identity and mythology, making the involvement of African artistes particularly meaningful.
With a strong cast of musicians and an exciting film adaptation, expectations are already high.
African music is getting another Hollywood moment, and Tems is right at the centre of it.
