Nigerian singer Chella has dropped his latest single, Loyal, captivating fans with his signature and unsual blend of Afro-RnB and Afro-pop. Following the massive success of his smash hit My Darling featuring Diamond Platnumz, Chella’s new track, released independently through his imprint, is a heartfelt tune celebrating commitment and emotional honesty. With its smooth melodies and relatable lyrics, Loyal is quickly gaining traction, sparking buzz on TikTok.
The song, also referred to as Loyal (Suzana) or Hossana in some teasers, dives deep into themes of trust and fidelity in both romantic and platonic relationships. Chella’s silky vocals glide over a warm Afrobeats groove, delivering lines that honour steadfast devotion with emotional depth. Lyrics like those in the viral snippet, “Everyday I’m singing Hosanna,” have resonated with listeners, making it a go-to track for those valuing loyalty in a world of fleeting connections. The 2:40-minute single, produced with a calm yet infectious energy, is both a vibe and a reflective reminder of loyalty’s rarity.
The release of Loyal has been amplified by a vibrant online response, with fans on social media praising its soothing melody and Chella’s vocal delivery. Posts describe it as a “sweet melody” and a “banger” that’s “so soothing and beautiful,” with some crediting the production for its off-the-roof quality. The official visualizer and lyric videos on YouTube, alongside a teaser shared earlier in July, have fueled anticipation, driving dance challenges and fan engagement on social media. Available on Spotify, Apple Music, and Boomplay, the track is positioned as a playlist essential.
Building on his breakout hits like Nyash na Nyash and My Darling, Chella (Uzochukwu Michael Ikechukwu) continues to carve a niche in the Afrobeats scene with his relatable storytelling and dancefloor-ready rhythms.
