NISOU releases genre‑bending single Love Like This blending reggae and neo‑soul
NISOU’s second single "Love Like This" blends reggae, neo-soul and alt-R&B, produced by Reggie Crux, Neegle and TS87 and released via Emotica Republic to streaming platforms.

NISOU has issued a genre-bending single titled "Love Like This" on Emotica Republic, a smooth fusion of reggae, neo-soul and alt-R&B produced by Reggie Crux, Neegle and TS87 and mixed and mastered by Nathaniel Wing. Wordplay Magazine and the artist’s Instagram handle @nisouworld state the track arrived on February 13, 2026, and the Jamaica Observer ran coverage of the release on March 2, 2026; the single is available on all major streaming platforms worldwide.
The release is being framed as NISOU’s second single following her official debut "Kit Kat" and is presented in promotional copy as "a genre-bending track that fuses infectious rhythms, sensual lyricism and unmistakable confidence." Production credits appear across multiple reports with REGGIE CRUX styled in all caps in one outlet and Reggie Crux elsewhere; Neegle and TS87 are listed alongside him and Nathaniel Wing is credited with mixing and mastering.
NISOU offers a personal account of the song’s origin in provided remarks: "Love Like Thiswas inspired by the kind of love that sneaks up on you so gently… all from one simple kiss. I’ve never been in love like this before— the kind where you feel safe, seen and completely understood. It wasn’t loud or dramatic. It was soft. It was easy. It was real," she said. Supporting copy describes the lyrical theme as the instant you realise you’re "in too deep" and when someone becomes "your best friend, your safe place and your favorite person all at once."
Born Nia Souden, NISOU’s artistic profile mixes stage training and visual work with her music. Wordplay documents her early competitive experience in Jamaica’s JCDC program and leadership of her high school choir, and Additional Source Reports note training at the Ashe Company Performing Arts Summer Programme. In 2024 she made visual cameos in YG Marley’s viral video "Praise Jah in the Moonlight" and in Protoje’s "Legend," and she is credited with photographing the album artwork for Protoje’s Legend project.

Influences cited for the project include Lauryn Hill, Erykah Badu and Bob Marley, with an expanded list on one outlet adding Amy Winehouse, Anita Baker, SZA, Jorja Smith and Ari Lennox. Industry framing in the press positions NISOU as an independent artiste with a DIY spirit, "one of Jamaica’s most exciting emerging voices," whose magnetic presence is already drawing early fans and tastemakers. Broadcast outlets The Edge 105 FM and Fyah 105 FM are listed among outlets reporting on the single.
With "Love Like This" streaming worldwide under Emotica Republic and carrying production and mix/master credits that tie her to established studio hands, NISOU has extended the cross-disciplinary profile she built through 2024 visuals and photography work while staking a clear second-step claim after "Kit Kat.
