The Announcement:
Adecorated songwriter with the ear of some of the game’s biggest names, Nija has kept some of her best songs for herself. The Grammy-Nominated New Jersey native puts the finishing touches on the rollout of her anticipated project What I Didn’t Say, releasing “In Between” ft. Jordan Adetunji, the project’s final advance single. “In Between” is a duet as expansive as the ocean referenced in the lyrics, complete with widescreen bass and cinematic rising percussion. Nija fills the copious spaces with doubletime devotionals, vowing that no distance can separate her from her love. Her harmonies blend seamlessly with those of the Belfast-born Adetunji’s, who comes through with a seductive verse of his own.
The latest in a line of singles that includes December’s “I Just Called” ft. Blxst, “In Between” builds anticipation for next week’s What I Didn’t Say, the official follow-up to her 2022 debut album, Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You. The upcoming project is home to Nija’s recent singles, including the shimmering “Back Outside,” covered by Rated RnB, the sultry “32nd Floor,” which earned coverage in UPROXX, VIBE, BET, and more, and the Jack Rochon-produced “Heaven.” Producers who helped Nija craft the record include Jack Rochon, Mike Hector, Christian McCurdy, Serge Dior, and more. Featuring an additional guest spot from Lil Tjay, What I Didn’t Say arrives on January 23rd via Amnija LLC.
What I Didn’t Say is the culmination of a new artistic era for Nija, an era which started in October 2024 with “Unruly,” a confident, bass-heavy single that harkened back to her origins with a special From The Block filmed in her Jersey hometown. The single earned praise from Billboard, Rated R&B, and BET, who said, “Now independent and carving her own path, ‘Unruly’ signals the start of an exciting new chapter in her career—one that brings her back to her roots while pushing boundaries in her sound.” In 2025, Nija wrote on “Shower Tears,” a collaboration between Cardi B and Summer Walker on Cardi B’s chart-topping album, AM I THE DRAMA?, and contributed to Summer Walker’s blockbuster trilogy-ender Finally Over It.
Now independent and ready to make her own wave, Nija prepares to make noise with What I Didn’t Say. Stay tuned.
