Nikoo - Not A Love Story
Artist: Nikoo
Producer: Charlie Hilton
Album: Collector's Edition
Label: Unsigned
First things first: Not a Love Story, the first Booth feature from London newcomer Nikoo is, in point of fact, a love story… at least, in the sense that it revolves around a romantic relationship. Don’t expect any hearts, flowers or tender feelings, though—instead, this moody single is all about the anguish that can result when true love goes sour. The first single off beatsmith Charlie Hilton‘s forthcoming compilation album, this slow-burning selection finds the producer layering skittering synths over a lumbering rhythm section as the rising soul star addresses an ex whose memory he just can’t seem to shake off; of course, it doesn’t help that the girl in question tends to materialize whenever he’s “actin’ a little too single” at the local spot. The overall effect is considerably more bitter than sweet, but fans of left-of-center R&B vibes are sure to appreciate its moody style. Those who like what they’re hearing can expect plenty more scorching boardwork and diverse guest features on Hilton’s Pigeons and Planes-presented Collector’s Edition compilation, coming soon to an Internet near you.

There are not many traditional R&B singers left in today's musical landscape, but there is a growing new bred of pseudo-R&B-sters, i.e. The Weeknd. Add Nikoo and his producer Charlie Hilton to that growing species. This light, atmospheric song is a welcome introduction.
