Nigerian-born, internationally celebrated singer, songwriter, and performer TENI returns with the announcement of her forthcoming EP, The Wellness Package, due early 2026. Alongside the announcement TENI shares a first taste of the project with new single, “Speed,” featuring Gunna. The track fuses the duo’s signature styles into a dynamic blend of Afrobeats, pop, and R&B, crafting an irresistible anthem that highlights TENI’s boundless creativity and effortless command of genre.

 

 

Speaking about the new single TENI shares, “It’s just how I was feeling. It was a new year. I was feeling the energy. I grew up watching Nigerian football, the national team. Guys like Okocha, Kanu, Taribo, or Celestine. And all these guys have speed. Speed just makes me move. You can pause but never stop.”

With over 800 million global streams and a devoted fan-base spanning continents, TENI has solidified her status as one of the most distinctive voices in African music. From commanding stages at Coachella to performing at Madison Square Garden, she continues to prove herself as a boundary-breaking artist whose sound and spirit transcend borders.

Known for her radiant fusion of vibrant Afrobeats rhythms, irresistible hooks, and heartfelt lyricism, TENI has become a genre-defying force shaping the sound of modern pop and African music alike. Her accolades include BET and MTV EMA nominations, the prestigious Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON) honor, and recognition from Rolling Stone, which named one of her songs among the Best of 2023. With The Wellness Package, TENI enters a bold new era — one that celebrates growth, balance, and unapologetic self-expression.
