Brightest Gold is the upcoming third studio album by American R&B duo Nina Sky. Its lead single "Forever" was released on June 1, 2015. During the premiere of the single, the band made the initial announcement that the EP was set for release in September 2015. However, the project was later delayed for a planned 2016 release as a full-length album reportedly being produced by Spaceplant and Vito Fun. A snippet of "Champion Lover" was released on the band's official Instagram account. The song was performed on radio on December 5, 2015 and released as the second single from the album on June 24, 2016.
The promotional single "Overtime", produced by Slimmy Neutron, was released on December 12, 2013. The single "Stoners", produced by Sky NDGO featuring Smoke DZA, was released for digital download on April 18, 2014. The official music video premiered on July 25, 2014.
In January 2015, it was announced that the duo were working on a new project titled Brightest Gold, reported to be an extended play. It was announced for a September release in early June 2015. On December 18, 2015, Nina Sky announced Brightest Gold as their third studio album instead of an extended play, with a planned release in 2016. In November 2014, they announced tracks for the album. They also signed to an independent record label Tommy Boy Entertainment, LLC which will release the album. In an interview with Billboard on June 24, 2016, besides discussing about "Champion Lover", they said that Brightest Gold will contain a cover of Usher's song "Nice & Slow".
Brightest Gold was first announced on June 1, 2015 as an extended play (EP) for September 2015 independent release, the day its lead single "Forever" was released. The duo later confirmed that Brightest Gold would be their third studio album. They also signed to a recording label, Warner Music Group's independent label Tommy Boy Entertainment. It is their first label contract since their 2010 fall-out with Polo Grounds/J. In early June 2016, the second single "Champion Lover", whose snippet version and radio performance were heard before, was made available for pre-order on the iTunes Store. The single was officially released on June 24 through Tommy Boy. Brightest Gold will also be their first album to be released through a recording label since 2004, when their debut album Nina Sky was released.
