Rising Nigerian artist Kemuel is already having a standout year in 2026. Before diving into his solo journey for the season, he made waves by linking up with superstar Wizkid‘s official DJ, DJ Tunez. Earlier this month, on February 6, 2026, Kemuel joined forces with DJ Tunez, Daecolm, and Khaid to release the vibrant single “Stingy”. This high-profile collaboration set a massive stage for what was to come next.

Building on that momentum, Kemuel now opens his official solo account for 2026 with “Ovah,” his first individual release of the year and the official start of a new project cycle.

The Heart of the Song Ovah

Released under Muse Studios Limited, the single is a raw, unfiltered look at the emotional limbo that follows a breakup when it’s supposed to be done, but the feelings are still loud. Based on a true story, “Ovah” lives in that messy middle stage where denial, grief, and anger all exist at once.

Kemuel documents the contradiction of claiming you’ve moved on while still checking her Instagram, still calling her “baby,” and remaining emotionally attached while trying to let go. The record leans into pain and pride—saying hurtful things not out of indifference, but out of heartbreak.

A Breakdown Of The Song Ovah

As the track progresses, the narrative evolves:

  • The First Verse: This section hides deep-seated hurt behind pride and sharp, defensive words.
  • The Second Verse: The tone shifts as jealousy, replacement, and moments of painful clarity creep in. It gets honest about the moments that finally make the reality sink in.
  • The Realization: It forces the realization that it’s really “ovah”. It’s not a clean breakup anthem or a simple goodbye, it’s an honest snapshot of emotional confusion before closure finally arrives.

The single is produced by Kemuel’s alter ego, Wondah, adding another layer of intimacy and control to the sound. Known for emotionally resonant songwriting and a genre-fluid approach, Kemuel continues to carve his own lane in contemporary African music.

Following earlier projects like Escape and Clouds, “Ovah” signals a more vulnerable, focused chapter—setting the tone for what’s to come in this new era.
