Nxdia’s ‘Cool’: A Riotous Anthem for the ‘Hoe Era’

W: Nilly H Peel

Nxdia is no longer just a rising star; they are a sonic wrecking ball aimed directly at the stifling norms of modern dating. Their latest single, ‘Cool,’ arrives as a sleek, neon-soaked manifesto for the unapologetic pursuit of pleasure. Fusing Cairo’s rhythmic soul with Manchester’s gritty alt-pop edge, the track captures the electric friction of self-discovery. It is a bold departure from the over-analytical "situationship" culture, instead leaning into the raw power of the present moment with a confidence that is as infectious as its bilingual hooks.

“I’m in my hoe era and I wanna celebrate that!”

The magic of ‘Cool’ lies in its refusal to play by the rules, blending punk-inspired defiance with melodies that demand a dance floor. By effortlessly weaving English and Arabic lyrics, Nxdia creates a global soundscape that feels both deeply personal and universally liberating. The track bottles the chaotic freedom of casual encounters, stripping away the shame often attached to fleeting connections. In a world obsessed with forever, Nxdia makes a compelling case for the beauty of the temporary, proving that there is profound strength in simply knowing what feels good.

“How about we just enjoy the moment rather than overthinking stuff—everything is temporary anyway!”

Coming off a massive 2025 that saw them conquer the festival circuit from Lollapalooza to Reading & Leeds, Nxdia is entering 2026 as an artist with a definitive mission. Beyond the infectious pop sensibilities, ‘Cool’ reinforces their role as a community builder for the displaced and the queer, centering advocacy within their artistry. As they prepare to hit the road with Cat Burns this April, Nxdia isn’t just releasing a single; they are inviting everyone to join a space where oversharing is encouraged and belonging is a given.
