Tems Names Frank Ocean as a Key Influence During Track Star Show Appearance
Tems made a recent appearance on the Track Star Show, where she opened up about the early inspirations behind her sound—highlighting Frank Ocean as one of the first artists to shape her musical direction.
Speaking during the conversation, Tems revealed that Frank Ocean’s artistry played a significant role in how she approached music, particularly in terms of emotion, vulnerability, and sonic identity. Known for his introspective style and genre-blending sound, his influence is often reflected in Tems’ own ability to create deeply atmospheric and emotionally driven records.
Her statement adds context to the distinct space she occupies today—where Afrobeats, R&B, and alternative influences meet. It also reinforces how global sounds continue to shape African artists, contributing to the evolving texture of modern music.
