Spotify has premiered Tems: Surround Sound, a full-length concert film recorded in Lagos, according to reporting by Premium Times. The performance brings the Nigerian singer together with fans in an in-the-round setting and moves across songs from different points in her catalogue.
The reported set includes “Try Me,” “Looku Looku,” “Crazy Tings,” “Replay,” “Love Me JeJe” and “Me & U,” alongside songs from her 2020 debut EP, For Broken Ears. Spotify’s live-performance format, Surround Sound, pairs artists with selected Premium subscribers for intimate performances that are filmed as full-length productions.
A catalogue revisited in Lagos
The film arrives as For Broken Ears passes 888 million streams on Spotify. Premium Times reports that the platform’s September 2026 data counted streams of the EP across 185 countries. The project’s continued listening gives the performance a second thread: it revisits the work that introduced many listeners to Tems while placing it in a live setting in her home city.
For fans outside the venue, the film offers a way to experience a performance built around the closeness between Tems and the audience. It also reflects how streaming platforms are using filmed live sessions to connect an artist’s catalogue with a new release moment.
