Tems and the Children of Blood and Bone film

Tems has been named executive music producer for the film adaptation of “Children of Blood and Bone,” which is scheduled to premiere in January 2027.

The soundtrack will feature African music artists, including:

  • Tems
  • Burna Boy
  • BNXN
  • Fireboy DML
  • Kold AF
  • Ayra Starr
  • Obongjayar

In the executive music producer role, Tems will guide the film’s musical direction. The project brings together several of Africa’s distinctive voices for an international film production.

The film is based on Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling novel. The story draws on West African culture and mythology, and is a fantasy centred on magic, power and resistance to oppression.

The announcement presents the artists’ involvement as an opportunity to showcase African music and creative talent to a global audience through cinema.
