Tems fans, clear your evening. Spotify has released ‘Surround Sound’, a full-length concert film starring Tems, shot in Lagos with fans gathered all around her in the round. It’s streaming on Spotify now.

The set takes in her early songs, including ‘Try Me’, ‘Looku Looku’, ‘Love Me JeJe’, ‘Me & U’, ‘Damages’, ‘The Key’, ‘Higher’, ‘Crazy Tings’, ‘Replay’ and ‘What You Need’, before ‘Free Mind’ closes the night.

‘The voice and the space around it’

The film is directed by Tim Horwood, who said: “With Tems, the voice and the space around it are central to the experience. We wanted the film to stay close to the detail of the performance while allowing each song to breathe.” He added that reaching ‘Free Mind’ gave the team “a way to follow the emotional thread connecting different moments in her music.”

Spotify’s numbers show why the early songs still matter. Her EP For Broken Ears has passed 888 million streams across 185 countries, and since 2023 its songs have introduced nearly 19 million listeners to Tems on the platform. A Spotify analysis in September found that more than one in five people who streamed the EP in January 2022 were still coming back to it in August 2026.

“Tems’s early music continues to be a starting point for new listeners and a place that existing fans return to,” said Rifumo Mdaka, Content Marketing Manager for Spotify in Africa.
