Nikkiya - Nobody But Me
Artist: Nikkiya
Producer: Will Power (for SupaHot Beats)
Album: Speakher
Label: Supahot Beats
With her out-the-box Booth debut, sultry smokers’ anthem When I Was High, Nikkiya set herself up as a breed apart from your usual, romantically preoccupied R&B songstress. Of course, that’s not to say the A-Town native can’t rock a wounded-love ballad like nobody’s business—quite the contrary, in fact. On new single Nobody But Me, the up-and-coming crooner (and prolific hookwoman) puts her own spin on a classic premise. Fed up with her man’s callous disregard for her feelings but still in love despite it all, she soulfully struggles to break through his wall of ingratitude. Backed by Will Power‘s soft organ chords and rolling percussion rhythm, Nikkiya reminds the fella in question just how down she’s been for all these years, before asking him if he truly intends to let their love die: “I wanna stay, but will you change / or will you take me for granted until I fade away?” Does this understated yet powerful jam strike a chord? Then keep it locked for more fresh tunes leading up to the August 15, release of free digital LP Speakher, as well as checking out this joint’s official video, viewable here.

Trust that if you have talent, and you're working with Will Power, you will shine. The production/vocal combination here is a joy to listen to. Replay worthy indeed. I am looking forward to her new album, which we will be hosting here at the Booth for our readers.

See now, some artists benefit from trying to be everything to everyone and some are better when they specialize.
I've heard her pop/crossover songs and then I've heard songs like this which I think are her strong suit. I think she should not try to be a jack of all trades and just be a master of R&B songs like this and 'Sailing'. She's more Sade (specialist type) than Rihanna (pop/crossover type) I think. She somewhat reminds me of Erykah Badu, whose best album (and ironically highest selling album) was her first, Baduizm (and the live version) where she specialized. |
