After escaping a toxic management situation, Nini Iris boldly declared her independence and new beginning with her empowering new single, “U CAN’T CONTROL ME,” which was released on October 31, 2025. The song, which features Nini’s distinct voice and dynamic production style, is a powerful empowerment anthem with hard-hitting drums, catchy flow, and layered synth melodies.
Nini’s lifelong love of music was ignited by the traditional Georgian folk music she was exposed to while growing up in Tbilisi, Georgia. Her talent was showcased during The Voice (Season 24), where her blind audition performance of “I See Red” impressed all the coaches, ultimately joining her longtime idol Niall Horan’s team and advancing to the semifinals. Her unusual song selections, such as “Karma Police” by Radiohead and “Lovesong” by The Cure, enthralled viewers and made them want more of her genuine original music.
Nini Iris creates a musical universe that feels unique, strong, and personal by fusing dark, textured overtones with an aggressive pop edge with old-world charm. Each song transports listeners to her world, which is far beyond the norm, thanks to her diverse songwriting and powerful vocals.
“U CAN’T CONTROL ME” is now available on all major streaming platforms.
