Nikkiya - Love Machine

Artist: Nikkiya

Producer: Will Power (for SupaHot Beats)

Album: Speakher

Label: Supahot Beats

Though recording artists have a long tradition of drooling over technology (Little Red Corvette, anyone?) the fact remains that “cold, passionless, and predictable” are the last traits that most people look for in a lover. On Love Machine, a standout cut off her recent, Booth-sponsored street release, Nikkiya reminds us that there’s nothing sexy about a mindless automaton, venting her frustrations with a man who fulfills his romantic duties with all the verse and enthusiasm of a household appliance. Project collaborator Will Power mixes it up behind the boards, splitting the difference between harder-edged, rock-informed pop grooves (on the verses) and chillier R&B stylings (on the chorus) as the ATL crooner soulfully voices her dissatisfaction: “Do I gotta put some money in you to get some time? ‘Cause your sh*t shuts down at the drop of a dime.” Will he wake up before Nikkiya pulls the plug? We can only hope. In any case, you shouldn’t be sleeping on the artist’s Speakher street album, released in August and available on our mixtape page for free streaming and download.

Lucas G. DJ Booth Crew Total Ratings: 715	Rating: Lucas G.'s Top Rated Songs What a breath of fresh air Nikkiya is. Her style is so unique and refreshing. The production is great, and really accents Nikkiya's style. This isn't my favorite track off of Speakher (that honor goes to "When I was high"), but it's a solid track nonetheless.
