UK’s R&B crooner NIGEL HINDS ends 2025 with a sensual and heartfelt declaration of devotion with emotive single, ‘No Ordinary Love’, out today (18th December) across all leading music platforms.
Radiating a warm, soulful glow, ‘No Ordinary Love’ weaves vulnerability with passion, capturing the moment when two people are drawn together by a love that resonates in the soul; a celebration of love that truly stands apart.
‘No Ordinary Love’ follows Nigel’s single ‘Ghostin’, which earned firm support from radio stations across the UK, US, Canada and Australia. The 2022 edgy R&B cut spent four consecutive weeks at #1 on CHBN Radio’s The Playlist chart in the UK.
Hailing from the culturally-rich city of Birmingham, Nigel Hinds discovered his passion for music at a very young age. Raised in a local Seventh-day Adventist church, he developed both the discipline and deep appreciation for vocal artistry that continues to shape his career today.
Nigel first gained national attention performing his feature single ‘Fire’ alongside Corey (S-Man) Campbell on a UK tour in partnership with the West Midlands Fire Service, raising awareness on fire safety. He later expanded his reach internationally with a solo tour in China, further showcasing his global appeal.
His debut EP ‘Gotta Get’ (2014) introduced listeners to his smooth, distinctive R&B style—one that has since earned him repeated invitations to perform at prestigious venues and theatres across the UK. Throughout his career, Nigel has shared the stage with iconic British acts including Lemar, Mica Paris, Heatwave, Soul II Soul, and Basement Jaxx.
Now, Nigel returns with renewed confidence and clarity, delivering a bold and intimate declaration of love with ‘No Ordinary Love’—a fitting close to a landmark year and a compelling preview of what’s to come.
‘No Ordinary Love’ is available from today (18th December) across all major music platforms.

Singer-songwriter Stefanie Michaela drops her new single and music video, ‘Anything Is Possible,’ a fearless statement about risk, heart, and self-belief. Co-written with legendary hitmakers Steve Dorff (Songwriters Hall of Fame; three-time Grammy and six-time Emmy nominee) and Michael Jay (sold over 75 million records worldwide; co-wrote and produced Martika’s worldwide #1 hit Toy Soldiers; and penned Declaration of Love for Celine Dion’s Grammy-winning Falling Into You), and produced by Grammy-winning Keith Thomas (Selena, Amy Grant, Vanessa Williams), the track, featured on Stefanie’s upcoming EP Turning Pages, pushes listeners to chase dreams, take bold chances, and believe in their own power to shape their future. The true complexity of the song lies in its simplicity, the purity of its message mirrored by the elegant, heartfelt writing and the music video’s understated yet deep
From the very first note, ‘Anything Is Possible’ captures the heart with its uplifting melody and heartfelt lyrics. Stefanie’s vocals carry a rare warmth and clarity that draws listeners in, inviting them to connect with their own dreams and aspirations. The song is both intimate and expansive, a reflection of the universal courage it celebrates. “Working with Steve Dorff has been an incredible honor,” Stefanie says. “His ability to blend emotion and melody is something I deeply admire as both a songwriter and an artist. Collaborating with Michael Jay feels effortless; he knows exactly how to shape a song so it connects deeply while still sounding fresh and timeless.”
“No matter where you are in life, you can always write the next chapter,” Stefanie says. “Believe to achieve—that’s where the magic begins.” The song encourages listeners to embrace uncertainty, pursue their passions, and trust themselves enough to try. She adds, “The real magic is knowing you have the power to turn a thought into a destiny. Believing in yourself is the first spark.”
The lyrics of ‘Anything Is Possible’ reflect this message: “Every day can be a brand new chapter / Just keep turning the pages / You’ll find what your heart’s been after / You gotta take the risk and face it… Don’t be afraid to fall / When you open your wings / Let your heart sing / You’ll find ANYTHING… IS POSSIBLE.” Stefanie’s words remind listeners that pursuing dreams, taking risks, and embracing the unknown are all part of the journey to fulfilment.
The music video brings this message to life through a warm, storybook lens. Stefanie flips through an old scrapbook and discovers a photograph of her younger self with a ballerina music box. As she gazes at the photo, it magically transforms into a living scene: the ballerina, bound by the shackles of life’s limitations, begins to break free. The little girl’s desire and passion to bring the ballerina to life finally take flight, filling the room as delicate fairy wings appear. Dressed in a glittering gown and adorned with soft, shimmering wings, the little girl embodies the pure wonder and magic of childhood.
As the video progresses, Stefanie herself appears, dressed in a flowing floor-length gown with opalescent wings and a delicate crown, stepping seamlessly into the story she has carried from her youth. “Magic isn’t fantasy—it’s focus, heart, and belief. Anything is possible when you trust yourself enough to try,” Stefanie explains. By the final chorus, she delivers her performance with the same wonder and determination, showing viewers that belief in oneself is the spark that starts every dream.
Stefanie recently partnered with City Winery Nashville on her latest single, ‘Better With Time,’ to curate her own hand-selected wines for fans, offering a chance to win exclusive packages. She has also performed live at renowned venues including The Hotel Cafe and The Mint LA, bringing her live performances to audiences across the country.
‘Anything Is Possible’ is out today (21st November) across all leading platforms. Why not check out the video below…

Mariam Davina’s new single, ‘Couldn’t Imagine’, is a heartfelt Christian ballad, a love song of gratitude to Jesus. It honours His sacrifice, constant presence, and faithful friendship. More than a Saviour, he’s a Friend who carries our burdens and loves without limits. Life without him is unimaginable.
Mariam draws inspiration from artists such as Mary Mary, Tamela Mann, Kierra Sheard, Koryn Hawthorne and Ahjah Walls. Growing up leading worship and ministering regularly in church, this shaped her distinctive style, her confident stage presence and developed her vocals into the powerful sound she exhibits today.
Attending Elam, for college helped her solidify knowledge as an artist and in navigating the music industry.
