Experience Every Emotion with Nini Iris’s New Song “Release Me”

When Nini Iris stepped into the spotlight on The Voice, it wasn’t just another TV moment — it was the start of something much harder to define.

Her latest single, “Release Me,” feels like the result of that retreat. It’s a song that doesn’t try to save face. It exposes it. From the first breath, it’s clear she’s not here to entertain. She’s here to unravel. “Release Me” isn’t about heartbreak — it is heartbreak. Heavy, cinematic, cracked wide open.

She echoed her honest intent on Instagram, writing:

“I wrote this as 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. But Release Me is not just a lament, it is an anthem of empowerment, a promise to myself to heal and move forward, embracing my strength and independence. For anyone who has gone through a heartbreak, or a hard, draining breakup, this one is for you. Hope this single allows you to heal like it did for me. Thank you for listening. Love u — Nini.”

Raised in Tbilisi, surrounded by centuries-old folk tradition and aching harmonies, Nini Iris’ voice sounds like it remembers something the rest of us forgot. And while her music leans into alternative pop and indie balladry, there’s nothing neat about it. There’s always something bleeding underneath. Something unresolved.

“Release Me” might be her most personal work yet. But it’s also the most universal. It sounds like leaving. Like letting go. Like loving someone so much it wrecks you, and finally realizing they don’t get to keep the pieces. She doesn’t belt — she burns. The chorus hits like a warning flare: bright, devastating, impossible to ignore.

Nini’s voice is as raw as it is precise, and her presence is quiet but unshakeable. She doesn’t overshare. She doesn’t need to. Her music says the things we avoid saying to ourselves.
