The latest singles add to Harcher’s growing catalogue, which includes “Peace,” “L.O.V.E,” “Dance to It (Jo Si),” “Stamina,” “Mey Suya” featuring Fido, and “Angelina.” The release of three singles within a short period reflects the artiste’s creative momentum and his ambition to introduce different dimensions of his sound to an increasingly diverse audience.
Harcher’s UK musical tour has been boosted by a series of performances, beginning at Forum Digbeth, Birmingham, on Friday, August 7, 2026, and Outernet London on Sunday, August 9. He later performed at Vale Arena, Cardiff, on Saturday, August 15, during the Afro Plug Festival, followed by appearances at Albert Hall and Xscape Manchester on Sunday, August 16. On Saturday, August 22, he performed at indigo at The O2, London, during Timaya’s “20 Years on Stage” celebration, further expanding his profile before a diverse audience.
Speaking on the release of the two singles, Harcher described “Heavenly” and “Lover Lover” as important additions to his musical journey, saying the songs reflect his continued growth and desire to connect with listeners through his music. “I am very excited to release ‘Heavenly’ and ‘Lover Lover’. These songs represent different sides of my creativity, and I believe they show how much I am growing as an artiste,” he said.
The singer explained that his focus remains on creating music that listeners can enjoy while building a distinctive identity for himself in the competitive Afrobeats landscape. “I want my music to connect with people, whether they are listening in Nigeria, the UK or anywhere else in the world. I am constantly learning, improving my sound and trying new things, and these songs are part of that journey,” Harcher added.

The release also comes at a time when Harcher is seeking to use his UK tour as a springboard for greater international recognition. Having performed in Birmingham and London, the artiste has continued to connect with audiences across the United Kingdom, using his live performances not only to entertain but also to promote his growing catalogue, including “Angelina,” “Heavenly” and “Lover Lover.”
According to Harcher, his experience performing in the UK has strengthened his belief in the global potential of African music. “The UK tour has spiced up my existing and prospective fan based,” he said.
The young singer also expressed appreciation to his fans, supporters and Bullion Records for their continued backing, noting that their encouragement has played an important role in his development. “I am grateful to everyone who streams my songs, attends my shows, shares my music and believes in what I am doing. I also appreciate Bullion Records for giving me the platform and support to grow. I know there is still a lot of work ahead, and I am ready for it,” he said.
With “Heavenly” and “Lover Lover” now streaming worldwide, Harcher is expected to build on the momentum created by “Angelina” and his ongoing UK performances as he seeks to expand his audience beyond Nigeria. The latest releases underline his growing ambition to establish himself as a versatile Afrobeats artiste capable of combining consistent music production, energetic live performances and international exposure as he pushes his career towards a wider global audience.
