Nipplepeople is a Croatian electronic music duo formed in 2008 in Zagreb. They are known for their anonymity, performing with masks and avoiding personal identification.[1] The duo's music is often characterized as downtempo or synthwave.[citation needed] The duo is best known for their cover of Zdenka Kovačiček's song "Frka", which became a hit in Croatia and Serbia.
Their breakthrough single, "Sutra", released in 2010, won the Loud & Queer Award for Single of the Year in Serbia.[2] Over the years, Nipplepeople has performed at some regional festivals, including EXIT, Sea Star, and Terraneo. Despite maintaining a low-profile public presence, the duo's music resonates strongly with fans and has garnered a significant following within the LGBTQ+ community.[1]
History
[edit]Their debut single, "Broj", was released in early 2009, with its music video, a live performance from MTV Adria's Hitorama, premiering two years later in February 2011.[3]
In March 2017, Nipplepeople released their rendition of Zdenka Kovačiček's 1981 hit "Frka".[4] The music was composed by Kire Mitrev, while the lyrics were adapted from Slavica Maras's poetry collection Konstatacija jedne mačke.[5]
On 5 December 2024, Nipplepeople was announced as one of 24 participants in Dora 2025, the Croatian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, with the song "Znak".[6]
