The UK’s rising pop star, Niki Kini, released her latest single God’s Hitlist for those days when it feels like life is testing you again, and again, and again. The beauty of this track is that it doesn’t wallow and look for sympathy, instead it finds the positive; that we’re all in it together and sometimes you’ve just got to dance through the pain.
Niki explains:
“I hope listeners hear this track and feel seen – especially anyone in their 20s who feels like they’re constantly trying to stay afloat. If you’ve ever looked up at the sky and said, “Seriously? Again?” then this song is for you.”
Niki began her musical journey aged 13 by posting covers on YouTube – fast forward 10 years, Niki has released a string of singles, gaining popularity not only on streaming services, but also for her fun and vibrant social media presence. At the start of 2026, Niki was crowned Music Gateway’s Breakout Artist Programme winner, as judged by an industry panel with names from Billboard, Amazon Music, SXSW and more.
Armed with a plethora of new music, fire under her belly and support from industry pros, 2026 is looking to be Niki’s biggest year yet.
