Nigerian Afro-Pop singer and songwriter, Bella Shmurda, has recently released a new single, “Verily”, a hypnotic Afro-fusion track that explores the complexities of love, heartbreak, and self-destruction.

Bella Shmurda has emerged as one of Afro-Pop’s most compelling voices, weaving his personal journey into every note he sings. From the streets of Lagos to global stages, his music is a reflection of his lived experiences—marked by both triumphs and struggles.

“Verily” explores the emotional turmoil of lost love, expressing regret and longing through lines like “She turn me to sinner” and “Now I depend on ganja, come put me for rehab”. The mid-tempo rhythm provides a smooth yet melancholic backdrop for his introspective lyrics, striking a balance between groove and deep reflection.
