R&B Songstress Nstasia Shares Soulful New Ep ‘G.I.R.L.’

NSTASIA quietly laid the groundwork for a powerful 2025 with the release of her deeply personal EP G.I.R.L., available now on all major streaming platforms via Shiloh Land. Though it dropped earlier this year, G.I.R.L. remains a must-listen—an emotional, empowering project that showcases NSTASIA’s strength as both a storyteller and vocalist.

The R&B singer-songwriter uses this six-track project to open a new musical chapter—one that’s emotionally honest, sonically rich, and spiritually connective. Speaking on the inspiration behind G.I.R.L., NSTASIA explains:

“‘G.I.R.L.’ was inspired by my understanding that women, regardless of where we are on this earth, our age, or what language we speak, share some experiences and perspectives that are universally relatable. It’s that comforting feeling you have when you get together with your girls and release. You feel seen and not alone. ‘G.I.R.L.’ is more than songs—it’s a shared experience, a conversation, and a celebration of the complexities and beauty of womanhood.”

From beginning to end, the EP plays like a safe space—a sonic sister circle. Opener “You First” sets the tone with its slow-burning groove and warm melodies, followed by “Illest,” a reminder that hard days don’t define your worth. “Lucky” is NSTASIA’s heart cracked open, revealing raw reflections on growth and vulnerability.

The project’s standout moment, “Your Girlfriend’s Moving In,” pairs her angelic falsetto with a kaleidoscopic production that sticks with you. “So Can I” calls out double standards in relationships with poetic precision, while closing track “GIRL” brings everything full circle—an ode to lessons learned and the strength women carry through it all.

Since her debut EP NEW RELIGION, NSTASIA has steadily carved out her own lane, seamlessly blending genres and collaborating with heavy-hitters like Skrillex and Italian rap star Salmo. With over 200 million streams and a rising profile, G.I.R.L. proves NSTASIA is more than ready to take her artistry to the next level.

If you missed this one when it dropped, now’s the time to catch up. G.I.R.L. isn’t just a collection of songs—it’s a movement, and NSTASIA is leading it with grace and grit.

ABOUT NSTASIA

NSTASIA’s musical story was destined from the beginning. During her time at Clark Atlanta University, she took a bold step and put her education on pause to chase a record deal. In that pivotal moment, she secured a publishing deal with Sony Music, thanks to the attention of legendary producer Rodney Jerkins. As her career as a songwriter blossomed, NSTASIA penned songs for major artists including Kelly Clarkson, Macy Gray, and even Beyoncé, who recorded one of her tracks. But NSTASIA wasn’t content to stay behind the scenes – her solo career began to take shape when she relocated to Los Angeles and released her debut EP, NEW RELIGION (2017). With her debut project, NSTASIA quickly made her mark, earning syncs on popular TV shows (including HBO’s ‘Insecure,’ BET’s ‘Hustle in Brooklyn,’ The CW’s ‘Black Lightning,’ and ‘Power Book II: Ghost’), being featured across major editorial playlists (such as Spotify’s New Music Friday, The Newness, Soul Lounge, and TIDAL’s Hot R&B), and amassing over 200 million cumulative streams. New Religion saw collaborations with top-tier producers and writers, including 3X GRAMMY® Award winner Skrillex. In addition, two singles from the EP (“Trap Or Die” and “Parachute”) landed in Spotify’s Top Global chart, showcasing NSTASIA’s immense growth on streaming platforms. Pushing creative boundaries, she reached international audiences with her “IL CIELO NELLA STANZA” collaboration featuring Italian rapper Salmo. The 5X platinum record peaked as the number one song on the Billboard Italy Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks. NSTATIA kept her audience engaged with a string of singles released over the next couple of years, including “Ring It Up,” “Couch,” “Bag,” and most recently “You First.” Now, with her roots firmly planted in the R&B space, NSTASIA is one of the most exciting additions to the burgeoning community of independent artists.
