Temi Dollface releases new single ‘Beep Beep’

The song, according to an official statement by the artists’s management, “leads us into Temi Dollface’s own cosmos of self-love with the help of spoken poeticisms from renowned talent, Black Magic.”

As with her back catalogue, ‘Beep Beep’ continues the artist’s contribution to moving the ‘Girl Power movement’ towards the centre of pop culture and political conversations.

Released as it is on 2 August, Temi Dollface’s birthday, ‘Beep Beep’ both celebrates the self-love of her audience as it commemorates the artist’s own day.

Although the song comes with the artist’s penchant for a pop hook rich in tongue-in-cheek irony—“I’m not one to toot my horn, but beep beep! beep eep!”­—it is also evidence of songwriting skill. The song is playfully arty with words locating the heroism in all the personas a woman might embody as an accompanyinyg lyric video shows.
