Her soulful track, “Love Me JeJe,” captivated audiences and critics alike, solidifying her place in the annals of music history.
Released on April 26, 2024, “Love Me JeJe” is a harmonious blend of Afrobeats and R&B, paying homage to Seyi Sodimu’s 1997 classic of the same name. Tems’ rendition not only honors the original but also infuses it with her unique style, creating a contemporary masterpiece that resonates with both old and new generations.
The Best African Music Performance category was fiercely competitive, featuring heavyweights like Burna Boy, Asake, and Wizkid for their collaborative hit “MMS,” as well as Yemi Alade and the Davido-Lojay assisted “Sensational” by Chris Brown. Tems’ victory in this category underscores her exceptional talent and the global appeal of her music.
The 67th Grammy Awards, held on February 2, 2025, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, showcased a diverse array of musical talents. Beyoncé led the nominations with 11 nods for her album “Cowboy Carter,” making history with a total of 99 career nominations. The Beatles’ “Now and Then” secured Record of the Year, while André 3000’s “New Blue Sun” took home Album of the Year. Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please Please Please” was honored as Song of the Year.
