NIKI unveiled her latest
album “Nicole” in August, which sees
her returning to her singer-songwriter roots in a carefully crafted
coming-of-age juncture that sees present-day NIKI meet with her teenage self.
The album contains archived songs from NIKI’s past that have been re-imagined
for the album, in addition to a number of brand-new tracks. Throughout the 12
songs on the project, NIKI uses her innate and detailed storytelling abilities
to expertly explore themes of love, heartbreak, and every emotion in between.
On the release of Nicole, NIKI shares “During the
pandemic, I did a deep dive of the archived videos from the YouTube channel I
started in middle school and realized that these songs are where my heart is.
We made most of the songs in my collaborators’ garages and living rooms, and
the whole process felt so carefree and energizing, like being a kid at the
playground. With this record, I learned to trust my gut and have real
confidence in myself as a songwriter and producer, and it was so freeing and so
much more fun.”
Fully written by NIKI, Nicole features production from Jacob Ray (Alison Wonderland, Evan
Giia), Tim Anderson (Halsey, BANKS),
Ethan Gruska (Phoebe Bridgers, Remi
Wolf), and Jacob Reske (Vince
Staples, Trippie Redd), with additional production from NIKI.
Her most recently
released “High School in Jakarta” has
already amassed over 45 million streams. The track’s music video surpassed 15 million
views since its release, becoming NIKI’s fastest video to ever reach this
milestone. “High School in Jakarta” follows previous single “Oceans
& Engines,” a heart-wrenching ballad on surrendering to
a broken relationship that serves as an impassioned moment of clarity and
demonstrates NIKI's songwriting ability. NIKI first announced Nicole with the release of lead single “Before,”
a reflective nostalgia-tinged record that upon release, received acclaim from NME,
UPROXX, and Teen Vogue who praised that the record “perfectly highlights
NIKI’s songwriting prowess.” All three tracks appear on Nicole.
In April this year, NIKI
became the first Indonesian artist to ever perform at Coachella, alongside Rich Brian. NIKI will follow up her Coachella
appearance with a performance at 88rising’s 2022 Head in the Clouds Festivals in Jakarta and Manila. NIKI previously
headlined at the 2021 Head in the Clouds Festival last November with a striking
set that received acclaim from MTV, Flaunt, and The AV Club who hailed her a “goddamn superstar.”
To date, NIKI has
accumulated over 1.8 billion streams across all platforms. Her hit single
“Every Summertime” from the soundtrack of Marvel’s Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings went viral earlier this
year, reaching Spotify’s Today’s Top Hits and currently has over 220 million
streams and climbing. The track, written and produced by NIKI and longtime
collaborator Jacob Ray – is an exuberant love song with a throwback sound
reminiscent of classic R&B and soul.
