British-born, Anguillian-raised songstress delivers a sensual and unapologetic debut led by “Sugar Daddy”
Following the critical acclaim of her previous releases, British-born, Anguillian-raised songstress Zipporah has officially released her highly anticipated debut EP, HNY SCKL. Released on September 18, the project sees the rising artist breaking boundaries and defying expectations with a fierce statement on women’s empowerment, wrapped in sensuality, playfulness, and unapologetic girlhood.
Led by the provocative single “Sugar Daddy,” HNY SCKL establishes Zipporah as an artist unafraid to embrace femininity on her own terms. Across the project, she balances irresistible melodies with infectious Caribbean rhythms, creating a sound that feels both rooted in her influences and distinctly her own.
Drawing inspiration from foundational icons Michael Jackson and Bob Marley, Zipporah builds HNY SCKL around a vibrant fusion of Island Pop and Caribbean rhythms, pairing breezy, infectious production with deeper layers of social commentary. Each track carries its own identity while maintaining the cohesive sonic world that runs throughout the EP.
Among the project’s highlights is “Good Girl,” which introduces an authentic African influence into Zipporah’s Caribbean-rooted sound. The result is a body of work that is alluring on the surface while revealing greater depth beneath its polished, playful exterior.
The release continues the momentum Zipporah has built through previous work, earning recognition and features from A&R Factory, Niji Magazine, We Plug Good Music, BBC Radio, and iHeartRadio. Her growing profile was further strengthened by the success of her single “Hooked,” which has surpassed 70,000 views on YouTube.
Speaking on the inspiration behind HNY SCKL and its lead single, Zipporah says: “Every song I write is personal, but with HNY SCKL, I wanted to make an absolute statement. This project isn’t about quiet self-reflection—it’s a power move wrapped in sensuality and fun. It stands as a celebration of girlhood, a reclamation of our narrative, and the ultimate expression of raw feminine power. This is pure femme fatale allure.”
Having spent the last four years immersed in live performances, songwriting, and intensive artist development, Zipporah arrives with a refined artistic identity and a clear sense of direction. As an independent artist, she continues to carve out her own lane, using HNY SCKL to introduce a distinctive voice shaped by Caribbean heritage, global pop influences, and an uncompromising approach to self-expression.
With its combination of infectious Island Pop, Caribbean rhythms, African influences, and bold feminine energy, HNY SCKL marks a significant new chapter for Zipporah—one that positions her as an emerging voice with a sound and perspective built to travel beyond borders.
