Making The Case For Nini Iris As Your New Emotional Support Songwriter

If you’ve been scrolling through new music looking for a song that feels both raw and polished, Nini Iris’ latest single, “Release Me,” is a must-listen. Iris, who some might remember from The Voice, is stepping out with a mature, thoughtful track that digs into what it’s like to lose yourself in a relationship — and the difficult climb back to yourself after.

“Release Me” isn’t about heartbreak as a cliché. Instead, it’s a personal reflection on identity and emotional growth after a breakup. Iris puts it plainly:

“’Release Me’ is a letter, a reflection on a heartbreak and the struggle for self-identity after a relationship and how someone can profoundly affect your sense of self.”

What makes this song stand out isn’t just the story—it’s how she tells it. The production is restrained but effective, letting her voice take center stage. The emotional weight is there, but it never feels forced or overdramatic. The track moves with a quiet strength, capturing the moment when you realize that healing isn’t instant — it’s a process.

For anyone who’s had their identity tangled up in someone else’s, this song feels like a companion for those late nights when the questions just keep coming.

Nini Iris is building something real here — honest songwriting paired with a sound that’s both modern and timeless. “Release Me” is the kind of song you don’t just listen to, you live through.
