Additionally, Nigerian artists Rema and Tems received nominations in the Best Global Music Album category for their respective albums, Born In The Wild and HEIS. They will compete against albums such as Alkebulan II by Matt B and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, Paisajes by Ciro Hurtado, and Historias De Un Flamenco by Antonio Rey.
Tems also secured a nomination in the Best R&B Song category for her track “Burning,” marking a historic moment as all the nominees in this category are women. She will face competition from Kehlani’s “After Hours,” Coco Jones’ “Here We Go (Uh Oh),” Muni Long’s “Ruined Me,” and SZA’s “Saturn.”
