UK R&B breakout Nippa shares new single “Unfair” and confirms EP “Hope She Hears This” arrives May 9.
Rising UK R&B artist Nippa keeps the momentum going in 2025 with the release of his smooth new single “Unfair,” alongside the official music video—and the long-awaited announcement of his upcoming EP, Hope She Hears This, arriving May 9.
Building anticipation through weeks of teasers across his socials, the new project marks a pivotal moment for Nippa, whose breakout year has included a sold-out headline debut at London’s OMEARA and a second MOBO Award nomination for Best R&B/Soul Act. Recently spotlighted by Billboard as one of 2025’s R&B Artists to Watch, Nippa continues to solidify his place in the UK’s new wave of soulful storytellers.
“Unfair,” the second single from the EP following February’s “Regular Girl,” finds Nippa gliding over glossy, stripped-back production with ease. True to form, his effortless melodies and rich vocal tone carry an emotional weight that lingers well after the final hook. It’s a track that reflects both growth and vulnerability—an honest look at heartbreak and self-reflection. 
“Hope She Hears This is definitely the most personal project I’ve done so far,” says Nippa. “It’s about healing, closure, and finally letting go of someone who once meant everything to you.”
Drawing influence from the golden age of R&B while pushing his own sound forward, the EP showcases a more mature and refined version of Nippa—both sonically and emotionally. From its introspective themes to its late-night vibe, Hope She Hears This is shaping up to be one of 2025’s standout releases.
