Tinie Tempah, who has just announced that his eagerly anticipated new album will be released on 31 March, will perform his latest single this Friday night on BBC's The Graham Norton Show at 10.35pm.
His new single ‘Text From Your Ex’, which features the sultry tones of American R&B star Tinashe, captures a similar magic to what Tinie Tempah has consistently delivered with the biggest hits of his career to date... with his boisterous rhymes, rich with personality, colliding with hooks which immediately remain rooted in the mind.
‘Text From Your Ex’ was produced by Jax Jones, who is currently riding high in the charts with ‘You Don’t Know Me’. Talking about his new single, Tinie says: ”'Text From Your Ex', is about that moment in 'Youth' where you think you’re that fly boy who’s got a lot of girls, and your girl sees a text on your phone and your belly sinks, all your confidence goes out the window and you feel like, man, this is the end. It’s a real life situation I know a lot of people will relate to.”
The forthcoming new album ‘Youth’ was recorded in Tinie’s studio in Greenwich – a location just 10 minutes away from the home where he grew up rather than in the epicentre of London’s music industry.
