Nicole Blakk - Hold Me (Single)

Nicole Blakk continues her ascent as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging voices with the release of her new single, ‘Hold Me’, out now via Second Phase. Following recent releases ‘Money On My Mind’ and ‘Broke Love’, the Watford artist leans into a softer, more hopeful energy this time around, embracing emotional clarity and leaving old baggage behind.

Built around bright Afrobeats production from New Machine, ‘Hold Me’ showcases Nicole’s effortless ability to move between vulnerability and confidence. Her delicate vocals glide across the track as she switches seamlessly between English and French, adding an intimate, conversational feel that has become central to her sound.

Raised in Watford with church influences and a multicultural background shaping her artistry, Nicole Blakk has carved out a lane entirely her own, blending rap, melody and multilingual storytelling with striking authenticity. Her growing reputation has been fuelled by standout freestyle performances and a breakout appearance on Dave’s BRIT nominated album The Boy Who Played the Harp, where her verse on ‘Fairchild’ drew widespread praise.

Away from the studio, Nicole’s live presence continues to gather momentum, with appearances at Glastonbury Festival’s Shangri-La, SXSW showcases and viral Red Bull freestyle sessions helping cement her status as a true artist to watch.

With ‘Hold Me’, Nicole Blakk once again proves why she’s becoming one of the most compelling new voices in UK music, balancing emotional honesty with infectious, genre fluid songwriting that feels both personal and universal.
