Nissi ft: Fireboy DML - Nobody (Official Video)
Following a series of rousing performances this summer at The London Stadium, New York’s Citifield Stadium in New York, and the GelreDome in the Netherlands, along with show-stopping appearances at BergenFest in Norway and the AfroNation festivals in Detroit and Portugal, London-based musician, creative entrepreneur, and multi-hyphenate NISSI is excited to announce her sophomore EP UNBOXED. Set for release via Spaceship Records and EMPIRE on October 6, the eagerly anticipated project is available for pre-order today (September 15). To amplify the excitement even further, Nissi also unveils her captivating new single ‘NOBODY’ featuring afrobeats superstar Fireboy DML.
Produced by multi-platinum selling musician and producer TSB (J Hus, FLO, Stormzy), and co-produced by Kigali and Eyes, ‘Nobody’ is centered around the profound themes of love and loyalty. Drawing from her own personal perspective on love, the infectious pop song, with R&B and afrobeats sensibilities, sees Nissi and Fireboy DML underscoring the permanence of loyalty, a bond that remains unyielding even as looks and individuals may change over time. The poignant lyrics portray the steadfast connection between two people, ready to face any challenge that comes their way. As the track unfolds, listeners are drawn into the powerful narrative of enduring love and the unbreakable ties of a devoted relationship.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Nobody’, Nissi says, “The inspiration for ‘Nobody’ comes from a place deep within me, a realisation about what love truly means. To me, love is about absolute loyalty. It's the kind of loyalty that remains unwavering even when everything else fades away – people, looks, you name it. Loyalty is that eternal flame that never dims. ‘Nobody’ is a celebration of this profound connection, centered around love and loyalty. When the idea for the song took root, I knew I wanted to explore the theme of two individuals who are willing to move mountains for each other. It's that unbreakable bond where nothing else matters, where they're ready to defy the world just to be together”.
Detailing how the song came together, and what it was like working with Fireboy DML, the rising star adds, “The process of creating the song with Fireboy DML flowed seamlessly. There was a natural chemistry between us, and our ideas bounced off each other effortlessly. It was a collaboration that felt entirely unforced, as if the music was simply coming together in the most organic way. The songwriting journey felt so refreshingly natural, like a conversation where each word and melody just fell into place with ease. It's those moments when creativity feels like second nature that truly make the process magical. Together, our collaboration paints a vivid picture of a connection that's pure and loyal”.
