Rema & Tems songs make RollingStones 2024 Top Songs | fab.ng

Tems and Rema, two Nigerian music stars, continue captivating global audiences. Rolling Stone magazine recently recognised their impact by including Afrobeats on their list of the top 100 songs of 2024.

Tems’s soulful track “Love Me Jeje” secured the 20th spot. This standout from her Grammy-nominated debut album, Born In The Wild, pays homage to a classic record. Seyi Sodimu and Shaffy Bello own this record.

Rolling Stone praises the song for its longing for carefree joy and its ability to transcend cultural boundaries.

“On the sun-kissed ‘Love Me JeJe,’ Tems’ voice reminds us that yearning should be playful and unburdened by any insecurities or apprehensions. Interpolating

Seyi Sodimu’s ’90s Nigerian pop hit of the same name, Tems “Love Me Jeje” builds on the recent trend of artists collapsing elements of R&B and Afrobeat. Producers GuiltyBeatz and Spax sound more focused on rhythm than melody, using even the guitars as conduits for Tems to lightly slip and slide between pockets. That candid moment near the end, where Tems giggles with a friend, encapsulates the song’s essence. Her demands for love are lighthearted and unbothered.”

Rema’s energetic track “Ozeba,” is featured on his Grammy-nominated album “HEIS.” It claimed the 63rd position on Rolling Stone’s Top 100 Songs of 2024.

This popular song embodies Rema’s signature style of uptempo rage music, designed to revitalise the Afrobeats dance scene.

Rolling Stone highlights the song’s pulsating drumbeats and provocative lyrics, challenging and exciting listeners.

“After making his name with the lush and lovey-dovey sensibilities of Afrobeats, Rema is far more sinister, menacing, and intense across his sophomore effort, HEIS. Gone are the flowery epics about pursuing a tryst; instead, prepare for some good old-fashioned shit-talking, especially on ‘Ozeba.’ On the album’s centrepiece, Rema unloads a barrage of goads and taunts over a pulsating roll of drums that will raise your heart rate faster than a merciless round of HIIT. Time to cause some trouble.” 

Tems and Rema’s appearance on Rolling Stone’s list underscores their global stardom. It also highlights their pivotal role in popularising Nigerian music worldwide.
