No Ordinary Love closed out 2025 in Nigel Hinds’ warm, honeyed tones –

Nigel Hinds brought 2025 to a close with as much soul as possible through his RnB single, No Ordinary Love – a celebration of connection that that all-coveted word scarcely captures. Bringing the romanticism of 80s and 90s RnB into the contours of the luxe with warmth release, Hinds took RnB fans back to the unadulterated core of the genre: just shimmering keys and synths, an impassioned beat, and a rhythm section that allows your own pulse to steady and settle into a flow state of pure adoration.

With vocals that could put him alongside the icons of RnB, there’s an instant cinematic quality to No Ordinary Love, which becomes far more than an aural experience as it unfolds, especially as the single breaks into its amorous middle-eight. The bluesy instrumental shift is perfectly timed to visualise and amplify the emotive intensity, as Hinds keeps his vocal timbre honeyed, honed, and instantly feeling like home.

Raised in Birmingham and rooted in the vocal discipline of his Seventh-day Adventist church upbringing, Hinds has spent the last decade refining his smooth, soulful sound. He first turned heads with his 2014 debut EP Gotta Get, and has since toured internationally, even breaking into China’s live scene with a solo tour. Having earned chart placements and radio support across multiple continents with previous singles like Ghostin’, Hinds has already carved his name into the canon of UK RnB. But it’s with No Ordinary Love that he brings it all full circle by offering a track that feels as classic as it is current.

No Ordinary Love is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify.
