Rising pop artist Nicola Høie returns with her striking new single ‘Painkiller’. “This song marks the first time I’ve fully trusted my own voice as a writer. It’s a piece of myself I’m proud to finally share,” says Høie — and so she should be. A deeply personal track, ‘Painkiller’ explores emotional vulnerability, self-reflection, and the quiet realisation that not everything can be fixed. The song marks a defining step in her songwriting journey, capturing raw, honest feeling through a polished pop lens.
From an early age, Nicola knew music was her calling, with singing and songwriting forming lifelong passions. Over the past five years, she has travelled across different countries, recording, honing her craft, and refining a distinctive personal sound. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and Justin Bieber, Nicola blends contemporary pop production with heartfelt storytelling. Returning with momentum, ‘Painkiller’ is one of six tracks ready for release, each embracing authenticity and emotional depth as the core of her artistry.
Nicola has already built strong momentum, with over 1 million Spotify streams and 150k+ YouTube views, alongside coverage from Wonderland Magazine, Renowned For Sound, and REVAMP Magazine. With showcases planned for the end of the year and new music releasing every two months throughout 2026, ‘Painkiller’ marks the first chapter in her upcoming debut run, showcasing the emotional honesty and authenticity that define her artistry.
