Soft said, "It is not as if they can't make these kind of music (Afro Indie sort of) but it takes one person to show that it is possible to succeed doing it."
Tems deserves more credit for daring a new 'genre' & not conforming. Now, we have more including Ayra starr, Fave.

But I think she has a better vocal range because she hits some notes that I haven't heard tems hit https://t.co/gAFHXSlFP9
