If you’re a fan of the likes of Jorja Smith or Olivia Dean
you may well want to add another Smith to your collection. It’s the second
artist on the Breaking More Waves Ones to Watch list for 2025 and her name is
Nia Smith.
A graduate of the Brit school, Nia’s releases so far are
contained on her Give Up The Fear EP released just last month. Each song sounds
distinctively and gorgeously effortless in its soulful delivery. Whether she’s
channeling her inner Alicia Keys on Little Red Car or the aforementioned
Jorja on the dubby reggae tinged Personal (one version of which also features
Popcaan), Nia Smith sounds like pure class.
Having supported the likes of Mahalia and Tems live and
already performed on Later with Jools Holland, Nia clearly has some decent music
industry support (she’s signed to Polydor records) and its easy to understand
why – there’s masses of talent here.
Welcome to your new favourite UK R&B artist.
Nia Smith - Little Red Car
