Nordia Mothersille, the soulful songstress nicknamed ‘Grammy-voice’, is redefining breakup anthems with her latest single, Ms. Honda<\/b>.<\/b> <\/p>\n
The track, which blends retro vibes with modern storytelling, is already being hailed as a banger in both music and how women navigate relationships.<\/p>\n
“Ms. Honda is a happy-breakup song–it’s not one where you’re hurt, it’s one where you’re over it,” Mothersille shared. “Like, ‘Alright, that’s you; you don’t have anything else to gain from me.”<\/p>\n
Drawing on her upbringing with her grandparents and a love for old-school vibes, Mothersille teamed up with world-class producer NotNice to create a sound that’s both nostalgic and fresh.<\/p>\n
“I love old school music\/vibes suh when NotNice made it old school it was right up my alley – it’s very fun,” she said.<\/p>\n
The song’s storyline–a breakup spurred by infidelity–might be familiar, but Nordia’s silky smooth voice and quirky humour elevate it to something entirely unique. <\/p>\n
“I think when I say ‘Ms. Little Silva Honda’ we can all assume ‘Maams’ and yuh can all refer to what I’m saying without me saying that,” she laughed. <\/p>\n
“So I feel like there is some type of humour to it and especially because it’s not a sad, breakup song…suh even if you’re sad at least yuh listen to di song and it funny cause yuh a seh ‘Yuh know seh a dis a happen to yuh fi true’. So that was the main thing of that song and I really enjoyed making the song,” the Sorry <\/b>singer stated while sharing her excitement on how well the song is being well received.<\/p>\n
NotNice, known for crafting timeless hits, infused the beat with a “jazz waltz” rhythm, giving Ms. Honda <\/b>its standout retro feel. “I just wanted to build something different,” he said, noting how the collaboration pushed his creativity to new levels.<\/p>\n
Born in Islington, St Mary, Mothersille said Ms. Honda <\/b>helps women understand <\/b>when “it’s time to just move on from a situation that’s not serving you”. Her journey to working with NotNice began in 2019, after she unsuccessfully competed in an online competition for a spot on his Kyng Midas<\/b> album. Despite the loss, her distinct sound caught his attention. <\/p>\n
Her debut single under NotNice Records, Sorry<\/b>, proved he was right, setting the stage for the soulful talent to thrive. The producer said working with an artiste with such unique vocals, “pushes his creativity” while other times challenging him to create rhythms strictly tailored to suit her voice. <\/p>\n
‘World singer’ Jah Vinci, who coined the nickname ‘Grammy-voice’ for Mothersille, said her talent is on an international level. <\/p>\n
“Her style a nuh just di likkle dot right yah so a swear, it’s more a global ting, international. Mi glad a even suh mi start call har from day one suh when she start get di Grammy dem shi can seh, ‘Yuh know bro did tell mi, enuh, a dis him hear as quality’. She’s a great\/passionate writer…a different levels a writing shi a gwaan wid, a nuh nutten weh mi hear a Jamaica,” Jah Vinci said.<\/p>\n
Despite being lauded as an international R&B voice, the St Mary native is exploring various styles while staying true to her roots. Her recently released EP, Broken Child<\/b>, chronicles her life’s journey, showcasing her versatility and depth.<\/p>\n
“My ultimate goal in music is to stay authentic, create music I love, and always feel proud of what I present,” she shared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
