在88rising新专辑《Head In The Clouds II》大获好评之际，NIKI发布了《Head In The Clouds II》专辑中收录的三首单曲 “Shouldn’t Couldn’t Wouldn’t”, “Strange Land”, 与 “La La Lost You” 的原声版本。本次的原声版本，以NIKI的吉他弹唱为主，只在配乐中加入了电吉他与键盘和声，在保留了原曲魅力的基础上增添了新的情感深度。 　　与一些曲目的专辑版本不同，原声版没有其他合作者的部分，只以NIKI温柔迷人的声线呈现歌曲。在她与泰国创作歌手Phum Viphurit合作的“Strange Land”中，NIKI柔美且坚定的音色完美的诠释了她与Viphurit不同的旋律部分。而在这次的原声版“Shouldn’t Couldn’t Wouldn’t”中，删去了Rich Brian 不羁的rap部分后，仅通过NIKI的词句来展现歌曲，使得哀伤的情感表达更加清晰动人。 　　在10月11日Head In The Clouds II 专辑发布之后，新的原声版本也紧随其后，由88rising在11月13日公开发布。自发行以来，该专辑已累积了超过2.05亿的试听量，并获得了Billboard、Genius、The FADER等多方媒体的一致好评。 　　Fresh off the success of Head In The Clouds II, NIKI of 88rising, shares acoustic versions of three songs off the new album. “Shouldn’t Couldn’t Wouldn’t”, “Strange Land”, and “La La Lost You” all get stripped down to the basics on NIKI Acoustic Sessions: Head In The Clouds II. Featuring only NIKI, her guitar, and an accompanying keyboard and electric guitar, the acoustic singles gain a new emotional depth while retaining their original charm and appeal. 　　Where some of the original tracks featured additional collaborators, these acoustic versions are all presented through NIKI’s voice. On “Strange Land”, her collaboration with singer songwriter Phum Viphurit, NIKI lets her soft but assured vocals take the reins for both hers and Viphurit’s verses. However, the stripped-down “Shouldn’t Couldn’t Wouldn’t” omits Rich Brian’s hedonistic lines, allowing NIKI to make her case all the more clear and impactful through her words alone. 　　The new acoustic tracks comes just after the drop of Head In The Clouds II, released on October 11 via 88rising. Since its release, the album has already amassed 205M+ streams and garnered high praise from Billboard, Genius, The FADER and more.
