Fast Money Music Releases New Song “Unfortunately”
London-based singer-songwriter Nick Hinman, aka Fast Money Music released his brand new song “Unfortunately” on January 16, 2026.
The song is the fourth single off of his upcoming self-titled debut album, which is set to be released on April 17, 2026 via Sick Records, following “Lover Boy”, “Crocodile Tears”, and “Round and Round”.
The track is all about echoing the cycles of timing in relationships, capturing that familiar space between holding on and letting go.
He recorded the song at Hackney Road Studios and Fast Money Music's own space in Dalston.
It was written and produced by Nick Hinman, with production by Mikko Gordon.
The accompanying music video was directed by Natasha Somerville.
Nick Hinman said of the song, “It's my haunted reply to Rupert Holmes' 'Escape (The Piña Colada Song)'. This time centred around NOT drinking, and with the uncertainty of whether the two ever end up together. At its core it's about intuition, the weight of self-doubt, and how often we're at the mercy of the forces of nature.”- The debut album was written across a decade, it explores longing, identity, rejection, and above all, how timing is everything.
It's a record steeped in tough nostalgia – bittersweet pop, jagged post-punk, and breezy jangle shaped by the lo-fi charm of The Cleaners from Venus, the restless drive of Guided by Voices, and the wiry funk of ESG.
He said of the debut album, “The debut Fast Money Music LP is a carousel of images and vignettes. Some pulled from the attic, some found at the front door. It's part novel, part autobiography, part love story, part tragedy, and part comedy: life on life's terms. More than anything, it feels like the most authentically me - an amalgamation of memories and experiences, pulling from art pop, post-punk, and new wave, yet landing fully in its own world.” - source : Apple Music
