Timur Nova is carving out his own lane in UK R&B.

Drawing inspiration from his favourites, Ariana grande, sza and brandy, he blends classic R&B elements with a pop shine that makes his sound instantly recognisable.

His upcoming EP dives into the chaos and clarity of growing up - grief that lingers, heartbreak that reshapes you, love that teaches you something every time. It’s personal, but it hits on the universal messiness of adulthood and self‑discovery.

“u, him & me,” the lead single, sets the tone: a sharp, addictive track about a love triangle that refuses to stay in the past. It’s a glimpse into a project that’s intimate, self‑aware, and ready to make noise.

With a sound that’s evolving fast and a perspective that cuts through the static, Timur Nova is one of 2026’s essential new artists.
