The preview was highlighted by The Debut Hub on X, sparking fresh interest in the music behind the highly anticipated fantasy film. With two of Nigeria’s biggest global music exports involved, the soundtrack is shaping up to be a major moment for African music on the international film stage.
Tems and Burna Boy Lead the Soundtrack
The involvement of both artists goes beyond a guest appearance. Tems has been named the soundtrack’s executive music producer and curator, while Burna Boy is serving as executive music consultant. Tems has also contributed three original songs to the project.
The soundtrack is expected to bring together more African talent, including Fireboy DML, BNXN and Ayra Starr. The film itself is based on Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling fantasy novel and is directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. Its story is set in the West African-inspired kingdom of Orïsha, where a young woman embarks on a dangerous mission to restore the magic stolen from her people.
