Nigerian singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Kemuel steps into a bold new chapter with “Osei Baby,” the lead single off his upcoming third EP “Borokiri Boy,” arriving August 7, 2026.
This one carries more weight than a typical single drop. Kemuel himself described “Borokiri Boy” as the final chapter before his debut album in 2027, which makes “Osei Baby” less of a casual release and more of a deliberate opening statement for everything that comes next. The Rivers State native has spent four years building quietly – from “Champagne Girl” to songwriting credits that include Wizkid – and this record arrives at the moment he’s finally ready to stop introducing himself.
The song blends playful flirtation with genuine emotional commitment, framing love as something that requires showing up rather than just feeling good. Lines like “I don’t wanna be the first one or the last one, I just wanna be the best one” capture exactly that balance – romantic without being naive, confident without being arrogant.
Production sits comfortably across Afrobeats, Afro-fusion, and R&B, drawing on his background in fine art and multi-instrumentalist training. That creative foundation shows in how intentional the arrangement feels, nothing wasted, nothing overloaded.
Since signing with Muse Studios, Kemuel has operated with real creative conviction, and “Osei Baby” reflects that independence clearly. Stream it now and mark August 7 on your calendar for “Borokiri Boy.”
