A trailer released on November 12 previews the song. RCA Records will release the single, according to KAZI Magazine&#8217;s account of the label&#8217;s November 12 announcement and Blex Media&#8217;s report on the trailer.<\/p>\n<p>For Nigeria&#8217;s music business, the new release makes a concrete product out of a soundtrack role announced months ago. Tems is not only supplying a performance for a film: she is helping choose the artists and shape a collection that can introduce Nigerian music to a cinema audience. The trailer gives the campaign its first public piece of music before the film reaches theatres.<\/p>\n<h2>A new release from an existing soundtrack role<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/tems-leads-children-of-blood-and-bone-soundtrack-as-executive-producer\/\">InterSpace Daily reported Tems&#8217; executive producer and curator role in July<\/a>. That earlier announcement also named Burna Boy as executive music consultant and identified Ayra Starr, BNXN and Fireboy DML among the contributors. This week&#8217;s development is narrower and more immediate: the soundtrack now has a dated lead single and an audible preview in a new film trailer.<\/p>\n<p>KAZI Magazine reports that Tems wrote and performs &#8220;African Love Story.&#8221; Blex Media separately identifies the track as the soundtrack&#8217;s lead single and confirms the November 20 release through RCA Records. Neither report describes the full song as already released. For now, the trailer contains snippets, while the complete single is scheduled for next week.<\/p>\n<p>The announced soundtrack roster includes Burna Boy, Fireboy DML, BNXN, Kold AF, Ayra Starr, Obongjayar, Moelogo, Daecolm, Pa Salieu, Show Dem Camp and Moonchild Sanelly, according to both KAZI Magazine and Blex Media. That range puts Nigerian pop and rap voices beside artists from other parts of Africa and the diaspora. The list is a billing announcement, not a track list: the specific recordings and their release schedule have yet to be disclosed in the material reviewed for this story.<\/p>\n<h2>What to watch after the single<\/h2>\n<p>Paramount&#8217;s film page dates the theatrical release for January 15, 2027, and names Gina Prince-Bythewood as director. It describes the film as a fantasy set in Or\u00efsha. The November 20 single therefore gives the soundtrack a separate launch moment ahead of the cinema opening, with time for the music campaign to stand on its own.<\/p>\n<p>The commercial questions remain open. The announcements reviewed here do not give the soundtrack&#8217;s licensing terms, ownership splits, marketing budget or a date for the full album. Those details would determine how much of the film&#8217;s exposure becomes income for the artists and rightsholders. The next verifiable steps are the single&#8217;s release and a confirmed soundtrack track list; a trailer alone cannot establish audience demand or revenue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tems will release &#8220;African Love Story&#8221; on November 20 as the lead single from the Children of Blood and Bone soundtrack.
