Nxdia has announced their debut mixtape ‘I Promise No One’s Watching’, set for release on 13th June.
The Egyptian-Sudanese singer-songwriter’s 10-track project explores themes of identity, sexuality, and self-discovery, featuring previously released singles including ‘She Likes A Boy’, ‘Feel Anything’, ‘Boy Clothes’, and ‘More!’.
“It’s everything I went through when I thought no one was watching,” Nxdia explain. “There is a version of me that wants to not care what anyone thinks, and there’s the version of me that cares so deeply. It’s about being free to be who you want to be, having the freedom to express yourself, having a not-give-a-f**k attitude, but at the same time being paranoid, analysing yourself every step of the way. There’s always a fear that someone’s watching you, judging you, but what’s scarier is finally watching yourself.”
The Cairo-born, Manchester-raised artist wrote the mixtape primarily from their childhood home before relocating to London in late 2024. The project features collaborations with producers and songwriters including Kurisu, Jacob Manson, Joe Kearns, Henry Tucker, and The Nocturns.
