FEATURED RELEASE

Our featured album, ‘For Your Eyes Only’ by Nikia, is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms! The album consists of nine unique tracks: ‘Boomerange’, ‘Missing You’, ‘I Hate You’, ‘One Night Stand’, ‘I Dont Care (Interlude)’, ‘Back Home’, ‘Tired’, ‘Running out of Time’, ‘Forever’.

Although the album is categorised into one genre classification, each track delivers a variety of melodic elements that showcase Nikia’s compositional talent. ‘Boomerange’ features a smooth percussive flow that provides the perfect platform for the soulful vocal color. Atmospheric instrumental layers and a stylistically panned clean guitar riff amalgamate to create an authentic and original sound. ‘Missing You’ features a powerful bass line that compliments the uplifting melody. Systematically added vocal harmony layers form a singular sound that adds a depth to the main vocal line.

‘I Hate You’ layers dynamic synth with an eclectic percussive beat and panned harp; forming a combined sound that supports the main hook perfectly. ‘One Night Stand’ groups subtle vocalisations that create a rhythmic effect; synchronising with the strings and main beat. Nikia’s vocal is powerful and dynamic, shifting with the instrumental accompaniment through each melodic transition. The rap break delivers just the right amount of dynamic diversification to ensure that this track is engaging from start to finish. ‘I Dont Care (Interlude)’ acts as the centre piece of the album with its unique solo acoustic/vocal combination delivering a wonderful change from the other more layered tracks on the album.

‘Back Home’ features a soulful melodic progression and foundational bass/beat that supports the layered harmonised vocal; making the main hook all the more memorable. ‘Tired’ features an incredible clean electric guitar solo that breaks up the emotive lyricism and authentic vocal performance. ‘Running out of Time’ has an up-tempo pop vibe that will have you humming along with the chorus before the track has finished. The combination of the driven bass, partially distorted electric guitar, steady beat and synth hook form an incredibly catchy sound that will definitely have you hitting that repeat button. ‘Forever’ is the last track on the album and has an almost jazz-like flow; with atmospheric keys, a powerful bass solo, and a complimentary clean electric guitar to bring it all together seamlessly.

From the well balanced production and creative compositional arrangements, to the impressive vocal performance, fans of Nikia, as well as those who appreciate new and creative music, will definitely want to hear this album.
