Kemuel Opens a Bold New Chapter with “OSEI BABY”

Kemuel Steps Into His Power with “Osei Baby”

Nigerian multi-hyphenate Kemuel is making his boldest artistic statement yet. The singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist has dropped “Osei Baby,” the lead single from his upcoming third EP Borokiri Boy, set to arrive August 7. This isn’t just another release—it’s a declaration that Kemuel has arrived at a new level of artistic maturity.

The past four years have been a masterclass in patient career building. From the breakout success of “Champagne Girl” to earning songwriting credits with heavyweights like Wizkid, Kemuel has been quietly assembling one of the most impressive portfolios among Nigeria’s new generation of artists. His signing with independent label Muse Studios in 2023 signaled his commitment to controlled, intentional growth. Now, with Borokiri Boy—positioned as the bridge to his 2027 debut album—he’s delivering music that sounds like an artist who knows exactly who he is.

“Osei Baby” showcases this evolution brilliantly. Produced under his Wondah alias, the Afro-fusion track pulses with devotion and confidence, carried by some of Kemuel’s most commanding vocal work to date. Listen closely to the second verse and you’ll catch a subtle Michael Jackson-inspired vocal flourish—a fitting tribute to one of his key influences. The track doesn’t feel like an introduction; it feels like a standard being set. Kemuel isn’t asking for your attention anymore—he’s earned it, and he’s ready to show you what comes next.
