NIKI announces her arrival with the nostalgic R&B of "Vintage"
Vintage was produced by NIKI herself and it recalls the carefree 90' and 00's R&B and Pop moments. Loving the nostalgic vibe of the song and it's good to go back to that golden era of music. The song exhibits NIKI's prowess for infectious songwriting and her instantly recognisable vocal tone singing about reconnecting with a former love. The music video was directed by Scott Cramer and it completely embodies the throwback stylings, with NIKI performing the track in a feelgood sunkissed setting, referencing the classic R&B videos of the golden era's icons in a completely new, fresh way. Watch it below!
NIKI's debut EP, Zephyr, is set to arrive on May 23rd via 88rising. The first female artist to sign with the highly lauded tastemaker company, NIKI achieved global recognition and a spot on the upcoming Asia leg of the Halsey tour off the strength of early singles See U Never, I Like U and Chilly quickly slamming the door on the preconception of what a teenage pop star is and can be in the 2010’s. NIKI is an example of completely self-reliant artistry; a talent that writes, records and produces her own music. Meticulously crafted, the EP draws inspiration from the personal experiences of her time between Jakarta and the US taking musical influence from 90’s R&B she grew up on with YouTube.
