Cameroonian-born singer-songwriter Olivier Cheuwa returns with Lovely Day, a six-track EP that bursts with warmth, gratitude, and groove. Seamlessly weaving Afrobeat, soul, and R&B, Cheuwa channels his global sound and uplifting spirit into a project that feels like a personal embrace set to rhythm.
The EP opens with a bold and sun-drenched reinterpretation of Bill Withers’ classic “Lovely Day,” delivered with reverence but reimagined through Olivier’s Afro-pop lens. It sets the tone for a record grounded in joy, light, and resilience—three qualities that have long defined Cheuwa’s musical identity.
Standout track “Special Love” marries silky vocals with infectious percussion and shimmering melodies, showcasing Cheuwa’s gift for fusing cross-continental influences into something universally resonant. It’s soulful, hooky, and emotionally sincere, with lyrics that affirm the beauty of meaningful connection.
“I wanted to put out something that reflects the joyful and positive person that I am,” Cheuwa explains—and Lovely Day does exactly that. Each track pulses with optimism, not in a superficial way, but with the grounded confidence of someone who’s walked through storms and come out dancing.
Having earned millions of Spotify streams and acclaim for albums like Mon idéal and Le Retour, Cheuwa continues to evolve while staying rooted in authenticity. From choir beginnings to turning all four chairs on The Voice of Switzerland, his journey is proof that positivity and perseverance can indeed move global audiences.
With Lovely Day, Olivier Cheuwa doesn’t just deliver an EP—he delivers a soundtrack for better days ahead.
