The next R&B King: Nippa

If you’re looking for the next artist to listen to on repeat, then look no farther than singer Nippa. The London-based artist recently released his self-titled debut EP, Nippa, comprising of six songs that showcase both his talent and his personality. Each track stands out from the mellow, chill vibe of “Situation” to the more melodic, soulful lyrics of “Back to You”- while being joined together by the silky-smooth vocals of Nippa and complimentary beats and audio.

What makes Nippa’s songs stand out from other R&B singers is the authenticity in his lyrics that speak to human emotions and experiences everyone can relate to, especially when it comes to relationships. The track titled “Back to You” focuses on looking forward to reuniting with someone and knowing that no matter the time of night or live situations, that you’ll be able to go back to them. The musical backdrop contains a cyclical set of vocals and beats that audibly capture the sensation of being in a mental loop that goes from focusing on the present and living in the moment before thinking about the person you’ll be seeing later on and knowing that “I’m callin’ late, I can’t wait/ ‘Cause darling I’ll get back to you if I’m honest.”

Along with containing a level of relatability in his songs, the tracks in Nippa contain musical elements that recall older, nostalgia-inducing R&B songs but with a modern twist, that make each song feel fresh and new but also comfortingly familiar. Combining these two elements together creates a listening experience that you’ll want to play again and again.

From wanting to add a boost to your day or looking for music to get you in the mood to go out, Nippa’s songs are the best place to start. With a clear and expressive voice that’s addictive to listen to and a beat that makes you want to dance and enjoy life, Nippa is a rising artist to keep an eye out for in 2022.
