Nottingham singer-songwriter Ady Suleiman makes a powerful return after seven years with his new single, “Miracle”. Now 33, Ady re-emerges with sharpened purpose, clarity around his desires, and a renewed vision of what he wants to share with the world.
Following his 2018 debut album Memories, Miracle marks the beginning of a new chapter, one that confronts themes of social anxiety, isolation, and the longing for connection. Singing, “I’ve been keeping my door locked // I was happy to hide,” Ady captures the universal tension between retreating from the world and yearning to rejoin it. Though deeply personal, the song resonates broadly, reflecting the emotional distance struggles can create—even from loved ones. Yet woven through its melancholy is an undeniable sense of gratitude: an appreciation for stepping outside, for life itself, and for the healing power of community.
Sonically folk-infected and visually rooted in his Swahili heritage, Miracle embraces the sounds and stories closest to him. Speaking on the single, Ady explains: “Miracle is about me stepping out into the world again after a bit of a depressive slump—trying to appreciate the beauty in life, being social & romancing. It makes perfect sense for this to be my first single back as I’m stepping back into the world of releasing music.”
For Ady Suleiman, music has always been more than entertainment—it was an escape. Growing up in Grantham, East Midlands, he often felt stifled by limited cultural outlets. That changed when his godfather gifted him his first guitar, sparking a passion for songwriting, later broadened by his father’s purchase of a Best of Jimi Hendrix compilation. Supported by a nurturing family, Ady left for the University of Liverpool, where he immersed himself in music and began gigging—an experience that proved essential to his artistic growth. Early viral performances such as “What’s The Score” and “Stay At Mine” confirmed his promise, earning co-signs from Liam Bailey and Chance The Rapper.
Over a decade ago, Ady signed his first record deal and went on to release a series of EPs—including This Is My EP and Ady Suleiman (featuring Joey Bada$$)—as well as his debut album, a mixtape, and a national tour culminating in a sold-out show at Electric Brixton. His artistry drew praise from major outlets such as The Evening Standard, British GQ, Mahogany, The Independent, and Clash.
Now, after taking time to reflect and recalibrate, Ady Suleiman steps back into the spotlight—revitalised, honest, and ready to reconnect with listeners worldwide. With Miracle, he reaffirms his place as one of the UK’s most authentic voices in contemporary music.
