“If Orange Was a Place” is the second EP and major label debut by Nigerian singer, songwriter, and producer Tems. One element that remains consistent is Tems’ unrestricted expression, which is evident from the opener and lead single, “Crazy Tings.”
In this sophomore EP, ‘If Orange Was A Place,’ Tems is not focused on making grand statements. Instead, the 5-track project serves as an effective re-immersion into her emotionally resonant Afropop and R&B sound, supported by strong production from GuiltyBeatz.
Throughout ‘If Orange Was A Place’, she reminds us that while the struggle, especially emotional struggles, might never truly end, we can always find solace through music. Although “If Orange Was a Place” may not offer the same instant gratification as her debut, it showcases her vulnerable side.
