NME-acclaimed US singer-songwriter Blessing Jolie makes a dashing debut with the genre-blending album '20nothing'

Blessing Jolie, an emerging singer-songwriter from Katy, Texas, has made a dashing debut with her album '20nothing,' released via Thirty Tigers/RCA.

The album captures the joys and heartaches of her early 20s, with themes of heartbreak, self-discovery, and letting go of her past reflected sharply and powerfully. Her striking vocals are freshly blended with sounds from every genre she has been influenced by, ranging from Destiny's Child to Limp Bizkit.

Her highlight track, 'Regular Shmegular Girl,' blends nu-metal influences with R&B and pop sensibilities. Discussing the album, she notes, "'20nothing' is an album about growing up. The growing pains of the early 20s seem to last a little longer."

As she rapidly grows as an artist, she was selected as one of NME's '100 Artists to Watch in 2026' and has been highly praised by critics. Her tracks '20teens' and 'Frown Lines' have garnered support from artists like Tyler, the Creator, Kehlani, and Caleb Hearon.

Blessing Jolie is a 24-year-old Nigerian-American from Katy, Texas. After uploading performance videos online and releasing her debut EP 'the girl next door,' she signed with Thirty Tigers and released this highly anticipated debut album in March 2026.
