    OUT TODAY: Nigel Hinds closes 2025 with Soulful New single, ‘No Ordinary Love’

    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.
