Sevana and Tems Spark Excitement with Behind-the-Scenes Photos in Jamaica

Jamaican singer Sevana recently shared a special moment with Nigerian superstar Tems while the latter was in Jamaica filming the music video for her Dancehall-inspired track, “Turn Me Up.”

On Thursday, November 21, Tems took to her verified Instagram to post behind-the-scenes photos from the shoot, captioning the images with the phrase “Open your eyes” along with a Jamaican flag emoji. Just a few days later, on Monday, November 25, Sevana also shared her own set of behind-the-scenes snapshots, tagging Tems and posting a combination of the Jamaican and Nigerian flags, with a heart-shaped hand emoji between them.

While Sevana wasn’t featured in the music video, the photos sparked buzz among fans, with the two artists clearly enjoying each other’s company. Sevana, who recently released her music video for “Keep Going (Chosen)” eight months ago, is focused on her own music career. The video has already garnered 132,000 views, marking her first release of 2024. Reflecting on the song, Sevana shared, “It’s a song I wrote and still listen to, even now, to remind myself of my power and purpose. We’ve all faced trauma, challenges, and dark times. This track is for those moments when you’re unsure whether to keep moving forward.”

Sevana’s journey to success began with Protoje’s In.Digg.Nation collective, which signed a deal with Sony Music Entertainment’s RCA Records in 2020. She released her debut EP Sevana in 2016 and followed up with Be Somebody in 2020. After leaving the collective in 2022, she launched her own label, GoodHzMusic, and has released several singles under it, including “Brand New,” “Lowe Mi,” and “One More Time.”

Meanwhile, “Turn Me Up” is part of Tems’ latest album, Born in the Wild, which has already amassed over 545,000 views on YouTube within just five days of release.

This exciting moment also comes on the heels of Tems’ impressive three Grammy nominations: Best R&B Song for Burning, Best Global Music Album for Born in the Wild, and Best African Music Performance for Love Me Jeje.

Sean Paul Collaborates with Will Smith for “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die” Soundtrack

Sean Paul has teamed up with Will Smith on the track “Light Em Up” for the soundtrack of “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die,” the fourth installment in the iconic Bad Boys franchise. This collaboration marks Smith’s return to music since his 2020 cameo on Joyner Lucas’ “Will (Remix).” The soundtrack boasts ten songs, including two featuring Sean Paul: “Light Em Up” with Smith and “Bad Boys” with Argentine artist Trueno. Known for his dancehall style, Sean Paul embraced the “bad man” theme for “Light Em Up,” which has received overwhelming support from fans on social media, flooding his Instagram with fire emojis. Currently on a U.S. tour, Sean Paul shared that a secretive writing boot camp led to his involvement in this project.

“Bad Boys: Ride Or Die” Achieves $56 Million Opening

“Bad Boys: Ride Or Die,” the latest film in the Will Smith-Martin Lawrence franchise, opened with an estimated $56 million, marking Smith’s biggest box office success since his 2022 Oscar controversy. Despite mixed reviews, the film received an A- CinemaScore from audiences. This release comes during a challenging summer for Hollywood, with ticket sales significantly down compared to pre-pandemic levels. Smith avoided discussing the Oscars incident during his promotional tour, focusing instead on the film’s release. With a $100-million production budget, the film was briefly put on hold due to the controversy but ultimately moved forward.

Immersive 4DX Experience at Palace Amusement

The film is now showing at Palace Amusement’s newly renovated 4DX cinema at the Carib 5 location, offering an immersive movie-watching experience that engages multiple senses. The 4DX technology enhances films with physical effects such as moving seats, water sprays, and high-pressure air. Executive Director Steven Cooke believes this technology will revolutionize movie-watching by making viewers feel part of the action. A select group experienced the 4DX effects during a special showing of “Bad Boys: Ride Or Die,” noting the realistic driving sensations, smoke, mist, bright LED flashes, and more. The cinema, seating 112, features refurbished seats with footrests and may inspire more 4DX cinemas if successful. Attendees left with high praise for the experience.
