Nippa steps into a bold new era with the release of Hope She Hears This, a deeply confessional and elegantly crafted nine-track EP that reaffirms his place as one of the UK’s standout R&B talents. Following his recognition on Billboard’s 2025 R&B Artist-to-Watch list, this project marks a milestone in his artistic evolution.

Out now via The Orchard, Hope She Hears This brings together emotional transparency and sonic precision. Known for his buttery vocals and effortless melodies, Nippa leans fully into storytelling, exploring themes of heartbreak, healing, and growth.

With contributions from Sons Of Sonix, Thisizlondon, and WhoIsJiggi, the project pays homage to the golden era of R&B while carving a lane entirely his own. Tracks like “Insecure” and “Sum’n Serious” showcase the weight of his introspection, while “Kiki’s Brown Eyes”—paired with its newly released visual—offers a moment of pure soul and sincerity.

This is Nippa at his most intentional: Hope She Hears This reveals not only his musical progression but also the emotional work behind it. It’s a late-night journal turned into an album—carefully composed, yet deeply vulnerable.
