Tamera - Poison (Live) | Vevo DSCVR

Tamera - Poison (Live). An exclusive performance for Vevo DSCVR, the channel for the best in new music. Like many artists of her generation, Tamera studied at the University of Beyoncé. When listening to her Afrobeats-tinted R&B and scrolling through her well-manicured Insta page, it’s not hard to imagine that the rising Brit singer actually took classes in The Art of Sasha Fierce. Each move has been a wise one. Raised just outside of London in Kent, young Tamera was molded into a confident vocalist by her church minister grandma. “She would push me to sing in front of other people,” the appreciative granddaughter recalls. After navigating the wild world of competitive singing TV shows and an early label deal, the then-teenager emerged with an eye on the indie route. R&B is the “main thread” of her sound, she says, but early singles such as “Wickedest” revealed an inclination to mix son clave riddims and the various guitar sounds of West African pop into her intoxicating sonic potions.
