KEMUEL UNVEILS PASSIONATE GROOVE “POLO” – A SONG FOR BEAUTIFULLY MISUNDERSTOOD WOMEN
by OOI March 1, 2024Emerging Nigerian artist Kemuel is back in the spotlight with his latest single, “Polo.” Following a year of critical acclaim and collaborations, Kemuel’s musical journey continues to captivate audiences worldwide.
Last year, Kemuel garnered recognition from industry heavyweights. Notably, Spinall and Olamide granted him creative freedom to shape “Bunda,” the standout track from Spinall’s sixth album, Top Boy. Building on this momentum, Kemuel released “Alone” in 2023, followed by a successful collaboration with producer Wondah on “Stay” in 2024.
KEMUEL returns with his first single of the year titled “Polo” as he builds toward his sophomore project.
“Polo” exudes positivity and purpose. Kemuel’s infectious melodies and heartfelt lyrics invite listeners to hit the replay button. Explaining the inspiration behind the song, Kemuel shares, “It’s about a girl whom everyone considers eccentric, but I see her as beautifully misunderstood.”
The creation of “Polo” was serendipitous. Kemuel recalls, “I made it on a Thursday night, I didn’t even know what the song would be about until the first line hit me, and it was real life so it was easy to write and compose, i and my producer wondah took a weird approach with the beat and Melodies but alas we created a gem and I can’t wait to share it with the world, this one is for beautiful misunderstood women.”
“My chikala she be my lolo/I no fit let you go no, no/Wetin you put for your ogbono/Oh-oh-oh”
These playful lines showcase Kemuel’s appeal, making “Polo” an irresistible sing-along experience.
Hailing from the vibrant southern state of Rivers, Kemuel embodies excellence. His musical journey began at age 13 when he joined the church choir. There, he honed his skills on piano, bass guitar, and drums, contributing to the choir’s harmonious sound. His passion for art led him to pursue a degree in Fine Art and Design from the University of Port Harcourt.

Polo Lyrics
(Chants)
I don’t really know why you
Scare me like Scooby Doo
But I can’t get enough of you (Hmmm-mmm)
There’s nothing wrong with you
You’re just a little misunderstood
But I like the way you do

My chikala she be my lolo
I no fit let you go no, no
Wetin you put for your ogbono
Oh-oh-oh
