London-based R&B singer, songwriter, and artist Nia Chennai connects with fellow R&B singer Ella More for this brilliant duet, "Give It Up." Produced by Chennai herself, she crafts a mellow, solemn soundscape brimming with lush strings, soft keys, and hushed drums. From the jump, listeners are enthralled by the duo's layered vocal runs and enticing melodies as they explore the effects of a lingering past.
Lines like "Keep your space/I'm keeping my own/I loved you once but not anymore/You said, you'd leave me alone/this one's hard cause I'm losing control/See your face everywhere that I go/Now that I know, can't pretend that I don't," tracks their detachment from said past but also their acknowledgment of the flashbacks that keep holding them back.
In summary, the track is an anthem for self-love, self-healing and a reminder that it's OK to put yourself first. A rising artist on the UK R&B scene, Nia’s music effortlessly combines soulful melodies with honest and introspective lyrics.
Born in South London and raised in Surrey, Nia’s musical journey began at a young age when she was exposed to various genres from her family’s diverse musical tastes. With a deep passion for music, Nia began writing her own music and posting covers of her musical influences on her social media platforms, drawing inspiration from her experiences and the world around her.
