Nigerian singer-songwriter Chella returns with a heartfelt new single, “Loyal”, an emotionally rich track that blends Afro-R&B and Afro-pop into a soulful celebration of commitment, trust, and emotional honesty. Following the success of his chart-topping collaboration “My Darling” with Diamond Platnumz, Chella’s latest release is already making waves across social media and streaming platforms.
Independently released through his own imprint, Loyal showcases Chella’s signature fusion of smooth melodies, compelling storytelling, and a warm Afrobeats groove. With lyrics that explore fidelity in both romantic and platonic relationships, Chella’s silky vocal delivery cuts through with sincerity. Fans have already latched on to the track’s standout line — “Everyday I’m singing Hosanna” — which has gone viral in TikTok snippets and sparked a wave of emotional responses and dance challenges.
Also referred to in teasers as “Loyal (Suzana)” or “Hossana,” the 2:40-minute single is calm yet infectious — a gentle reminder of the power of loyalty in a world where connection can feel fleeting. Produced with precision and emotional depth, Loyal is as reflective as it is catchy, striking a balance between introspective songwriting and rhythmic appeal.
“Sweet melody,” “banger,” “so soothing and beautiful,” fans rave online, highlighting not just Chella’s emotive performance but also the song’s off-the-roof production quality. The release has been supported by a compelling visualizer and lyric video on YouTube, alongside a teaser that dropped earlier in July, all of which have fueled growing anticipation and streaming momentum.
Available now on Spotify, Apple Music, and Boomplay, Loyal cements Chella’s rising status as an Afrobeats artist to watch. Known for hits like “Nyash na Nyash” and “My Darling”, Uzochukwu Michael Ikechukwu, better known as Chella, continues to carve a unique path in the genre — one grounded in authenticity, melody, and emotional connection.
With Loyal, Chella proves once again that he’s not just making music for the moment — he’s creating anthems for the heart
