Rivers State-born Afro-R&B artist Kemuel confronts real heartbreak on “Wound Me,” another cut from his new “Borokiri Boy” EP.
This one sits at a real turning point in the project. After “Close 2 U” pulled him back into that same love cycle, finding oasis amid chaos, Wound Me shows exactly where that cycle turned toxic. Kemuel’s called the whole EP a journey, starting with love, moving through excitement, and slowly arriving at self-awareness, and this track marks that painful middle stretch. It’s the kind of push-and-pull that somehow still feels like love, even as it hurts.
Production stays warm but weighted throughout, built to hold real emotional tension underneath the melody. Nothing here rushes past the discomfort. The arrangement gives space for that toxic pattern to sit honestly, matching the ache in the title without dressing it up.
His tone stays honest throughout, refusing to romanticize what’s clearly hurting him. That willingness to sit inside discomfort instead of resolving it too quickly is exactly what’s carried this whole EP’s emotional arc.
