Nipplepeople (stylised in lowercase) 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 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]
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 were announced as one of 24 participants in Dora 2025 , the Croatian national selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2025, with the song "Znak". [6] On 1 March 2025, they finished seventh in the Dora final.
