nicole han Breaks the Pattern on New Single “CYCLES”
Nicole Han writes the kind of songs that don’t ask for attention — they linger instead. The LA-based pop singer-songwriter moves with quiet confidence, creating music that feels lived-in and emotionally precise. Her sound exists in the space between vulnerability and restraint, where late-night thoughts become melodies and nothing feels over-explained.
Much of Nicole’s music begins alone in her bedroom, just her and a keyboard. That intimacy carries through every release, giving her songs the feeling of private conversations rather than performances. She’s been writing music since she was seven years old, and it shows — not in polish, but in instinct. There’s a natural understanding of how to let a song breathe.
An Artist Who Builds Her Own World
Beyond the music, Nicole is deeply hands-on with her creative universe. She acts as her own creative director, shaping everything from cover art to merch and visual storytelling. The result is a project that feels cohesive and intentional — a fully formed aesthetic that mirrors the emotional honesty of her songwriting.
Her approach has already resonated. Nicole has landed multiple placements on Spotify’s New Music Friday and earned cover spots on Next-Gen Singer Songwriters and Fresh Finds. She’s also shared stages around Los Angeles with artists like Tiffany Day, Devon Gabriella, Maude Latour, Katherine Li, and Sundial, steadily building momentum through thoughtful releases and intimate live performances.
“CYCLES” Is Out Now
Out now, “CYCLES” marks the third single from Nicole’s upcoming EP and feels like one of her most self-aware releases yet. The track leans into repetition — emotional patterns, familiar mistakes, and the moments we swear we’ve outgrown but somehow revisit anyway.
Sonically, “CYCLES” sits comfortably in the bedroom pop and indie-pop space, but it’s Nicole’s lyricism that anchors the song. There’s a quiet clarity in the way she delivers each line, making the track feel reflective rather than dramatic. Fans of Lorde, Gracie Abrams, and Holly Humberstone will find themselves right at home.
Sitting With the Pattern
“CYCLES” doesn’t rush to resolve itself. It sits with the discomfort, the recognition, the slow understanding — and that’s exactly where its strength lies. The song feels less like a conclusion and more like a moment of awareness, capturing the honesty Nicole has become known for.
With this release, Nicole Han continues to carve out a space that feels both intimate and intentional. She isn’t chasing moments — she’s documenting them.
