Review: Jakarta-born, LA-based singer-songwriter NIKI has announced her third studio album, Buzz, set for release on August 9th via 88rising. Alongside this exciting news, she has unveiled the lead single, 'Too Much Of A Good Thing.' Co-produced with Ethan Gruska, known for his work with Phoebe Bridgers and Bon Iver, the flirty track features sardonic lyrics and a sinewy bass guitar, speaking about the excitement of a new crush. NIKI describes the song as a fun, tongue-in-cheek exploration of desire and imagination, with a groove inspired by classic rock from the 60s and 70s. Emerging from a profound inner journey, this album delivers warm folk-rock songs that crackle with intimacy and introspection. Reflecting on an identity crisis, NIKI blends influences from Joni Mitchell to Liz Phair, crafting a personal narrative through elastic guitar melodies. Collaborating with seasoned producers, she captures a wandering spirit that resonates with hard-earned wisdom and resilience.
