Loud Urban Choir – Elumelu

Nigerian vocal ensemble Loud Urban Choir returns with “Elumelu,” a fresh single arriving after “Pilé” and “Slick.”

The group has built a name on modern choral arrangements fused with Afrobeats energy. However, this new record leans into their original work, not another cover. It closes out an active stretch that also produced the Afroloud EP and several joint ventures. Because the song runs short, the focus stays on the choir’s collective performance, which keeps the polished feel fans saw in recent drops.

Loud Urban Choir started as a live performance outfit, yet it has since grown into one of Nigeria’s most recognised contemporary vocal groups. So this single adds another layer to that shift, and it shows how far they have come from their earlier days.

While “Elumelu” is original material, it also arrives alongside a Young Jonn cover of the same title. That pairing gives listeners two ways into the song, though the choir’s version stands on its own merit.
