On Tem’s – The Key, Rapture Is Involved.

Remember the “Into The Badlands” movie series? The season 2 specifically that M.K showed up as a dark one that, after little sheer of his blood when he hadn’t learned to control his dark powers

So, lately, as I began to find Tems and her music so fascinating, I found a higher purpose and solace listening and interpreting most songs on her discography. I also noticed her poignant music-making ability, which she carved exceptionally, giving me a great certainty about an intense enjoyment which she leaves behind each track that I listened to, including the ones she’d propose to release shortly that I hoped would also be so lovely; every record I heard her deliver on even last night becomes like a place with her alone, offering me a great vibe from each song she layered and then after which, I believed in her. I saw through her and the art separately. And now, I think no more; I'm an actual Tem’s acolyte who understands the power she wields.

I had a taste of her 2019 smash hit, “Try Me”, including her significant catastrophic “Damages”, and her golden effort laid off on Wizkid’s “Essence” off the victorious Made In Lagos LP; amongst other stacks of great songs she's put out, also includes her debut 7-track, extended play, "For Broken Ears", which interweaves compelling and meaningful themes altogether.

I listened to the almighty pop-driven “The Key” by Tems, and I had her layering a mix of self-expression in between a range of great spirituality by the side. ‘The Key’ become a sacrifice depicting her spontaneous self-belief, and being a replica of one whom God has blessed and no man can curse, she becomes the vibe leader that she proclaims in the song as she weaves my thoughts alongside a stack of believing her artistry in as much as she indirectly correlates the songs’ essence with rapturing when we’d be flying off the ground as the world would be going out, she offers the lyrical expertise that seizes to connote or speak on behalf of the actual anticipating apocalyptic Christian event, rapture – when every dead person that beliefs in God’s Son, Jesus, would rise from the dead with a transformed body to fly to the sky.

The visual experience alone, ‘The Key’, depicts high spirituality, unveiling Tems as the special one with many powers and the leader indeed. Remember the “Into The Badlands” movie series? The season 2 specifically that M.K showed up as a dark one that, after little sheer of his blood when he hadn’t learned to control his dark powers, gives him an extra-ordinary strength to conquer amongst mere humans, even amongst the most skilled fighters like, Sunny. The dark ones go black-eyed and become stronger, and that was what the state of Tems looked, she offered us alongside with her gang in the visual stint directed by the iconic Nigerian UAX.

So far as I understand, ‘The Key” offers lyrical sections that cover verse range of spirituality, not minding when she proclaims that, “who God has blessed, no man can curse”, in between, saying that she has the gang and that when the world is going down (destroying) we would be going up would be the way for safety as she puts it this way, “we would be flying off the ground/when the world is going down/when the earth is falling in”, and simply what comes to my mind is the moment of Christ rapturing the souls that beliefs in him, aside from the fact that ‘The Key” carries instructions of Tem’s self-expression. A way to show forth what she’s made of as the leader of the vibe, which was inscribed behind her black coat on the visual, as it made the record entirely expansive and stronger.
