Nigerian artist Tems has been appointed executive producer and curator of the official soundtrack for the upcoming film Children of Blood and Bone. She also contributes three original songs to the project.
Director Gina Prince-Bythewood confirmed that Tems is the first woman to executive produce a soundtrack of this scale. The lineup also features Ayra Starr, BNXN (Benson), and Fireboy DML, with Burna Boy serving as executive music consultant.
“I wanted Tems to curate the soundtrack. I wanted her to executive produce it. She’s actually the first woman to executive produce a soundtrack at this level, which is incredible,” Prince-Bythewood said. “She put together an epic soundtrack. There are absolutely no skips… The soundtrack is so amazing, and I’m so proud of Tems, who had never done this before and created something truly extraordinary.”
“Then Burna Boy came on board as the executive music consultant. We’ve got three new Tems tracks. We’ve got Fireboy DML, BNXN (Benson), and Ayra Starr.”
The film is based on Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling novel Children of Blood and Bone.
