Swiss singer, songwriter, and performer NNAVY releases her debut album “I’ll Wait For You,” out now via NNAVY Records / Absolute Label Services. Following the release of the singles “Slowly Burning,” “Late Nights,” and “Distance,” the album marks the first full-length project from one of the most exciting emerging voices in contemporary soul and R&B.
BEHIND THE SCENES, LET’S KNOW MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST: Swiss singer, songwriter and performer NNAVY is steadily establishing herself as one of the most compelling new voices in contemporary soul and R&B. Based in Lausanne, music has long been both her refuge and her creative outlet, evolving from songs written and performed in the privacy of her bedroom into a flourishing independent career built on authenticity, vision and determination. With a growing international audience, a proven track record as an independent artist and a clear vision for the future, NNAVY represents a new generation of artists combining creative excellence with entrepreneurial drive.
With themes of grief, resilience, desire, and self-worth at its core, “I’ll Wait For You” explores the complex relationships we hold onto and the difficult moments when we must learn to create distance. Across twelve tracks, NNAVY moves seamlessly between R&B, soul, and jazz, transforming deeply personal experiences involving love, loss, and self-acceptance into music that connects on a universal level. Intimate in its storytelling yet expansive in its sound, the album balances emotional vulnerability with an infectious musical energy.
The record takes its title from the song “I’ll Wait For You,” written for NNAVY’s cousin, one of the most important people in her life. Reflecting on the inspiration behind the track, the artist explains: “She’s been through very dark times, and we’ve pushed each other away, sometimes when I didn’t want to be accountable for my life, or when I didn’t want to feel like a burden. But we’ve basically gone through everything together almost since I was born. This song is for her.”
Since launching her musical project, NNAVY has released four critically acclaimed EPs and established herself as an increasingly recognised name both in Switzerland and internationally. Her achievements include the TATAKI Award in 2023 and the Swiss Music Award for Best Act Romandie in 2025, further confirming her growing presence in the contemporary music scene.
Her artistic journey has also brought her to the prestigious COLORSxStudios platform in 2023, alongside three consecutive appearances at the renowned Montreux Jazz Festival. That same year, she had the opportunity to open for Lionel Richie, while also sharing the stage with acclaimed artists such as Arlo Parks, Ben l’Oncle Soul, Alfa Mist, and November Ultra.
Strongly committed to maintaining her independence, NNAVY completed an impressive 60-date tour in 2024 without the backing of a record label, relying instead on her own artistic vision, a dedicated team, and an unwavering work ethic. Rather than pursuing short-lived success, she remains focused on building a sustainable, long-term career, approaching each step with patience, ambition, and a clear sense of purpose. Beyond her music, she is equally driven by the desire to create meaningful work and become a role model who can inspire and empower women through a story and artistic journey they can relate to.
