迄今为止，已累计获得了超740M流媒体数据瞩目的21岁的NIKI,始终坚持自主创作、录制和制作自己的歌曲，勇敢地打破了作为“流行偶像”的定式。这位出生在雅加达，现居LA的女孩，正吸引着整个世界的目光，Billboard盛赞她是“冉冉升起的最耀眼的新星之一”。 　　紧接着今年四月刚刚发布的“Switchblade”，NIKI带着新单曲“Selene”再次回归。这首新歌也是她即将发布的个人首张全长专辑，目前释出的第二首单曲。“Selene”由NIKI和Jacob Ray共同创作和制作完成，将向我们展现NIKI灵魂性、节奏性的音乐特质。充满热情的即兴表达与现场式的小号旋律，将“Selene”与专辑中的其他作品区分开来，作为一首节奏欢快的单曲，为听众带去想要起舞的听觉体验。 　　主题上，“Selene”的故事建立在“Switchblade”中NIKI的故事之上，带听众进一步深入专辑的第一段落。被人格化为“月亮之子”的NIKI，从悬崖堕入深不可测的虚空，在“Selene”压倒性的存在之下苏醒。在希腊神话之中，“Selene”是月亮女神，女神接管了月亮之子，附身于她，并支配她一个具有煽动性的魅惑的新人格。这种吸引力的推拉，带出了月亮之子性感的新一面，并引出了她关于女性身份与身体欲望部分的个人成长。 　　NIKI的个人首发专辑《Moonchild》，作为一张概念专辑，带领听众共同经历三个自我探索的月相：新月（纯真、好奇、开端）；半月/月蚀（失去希望、幻灭）；满月（自我发现、力量）。这张专辑的灵感来自于NIKI的音乐影响，将不同的音乐风格融入三联曲的音乐结构——R&B，流行，都市，Funk，乡村音乐——从单纯质朴的钢琴歌谣到精心编排的赞美诗。经过整整两年的制作，《Moonchild》集合了NIKI的多位合作者，制作人及词曲作者Jacob Ray、制作人组合 Bekon & the Donuts (Kendrick Lamar, SZA)、蒙特利尔制作人Pomo (Anderson .Paak, Mac Miller)同时参与了“Selene”的制作。 　　With over 740M+ streams to date, 21-year-old NIKI has slammed the door on the conventions of pop stardom—writing, recording, and producing her music on her own. Born in Jakarta and based in Los Angeles, NIKI has captured the attention of audiences around the world, earning praise from Billboard “as one of the brightest rising stars.” 　　Following the release of “Switchblade” this past April, NIKI returns with “Selene”, the second single off her forthcoming debut full-length album 'Moonchild'. Written and produced by NIKI and Jacob Ray, “Selene” presents a soulful and funky side of NIKI musically. Passionate adlibs and live horns set “Selene” apart from the rest of the album as an up-tempo song that will make listeners want to dance. 　　Thematically, “Selene” builds upon NIKI’s story from “Switchblade,” bringing listeners further into the first phase of the album. NIKI, personified as the “Moonchild”, has fallen cliffside into a deep, bottomless void and wakes up to the overwhelming presence of “Selene”, who in Greek mythology is the Goddess of the Moon. The goddess takes over the Moonchild, possesses her, and dictates a new provocative persona. The push and pull between this captivation brings out a new sensual side of the Moonchild, and elicits a part of her personal growth through womanhood and sexuality. 　　A concept album, NIKI’s debut LP, 'Moonchild', takes listeners through three lunar phases of self-exploration: crescent moon (innocence, curiosity, embarking); half-moon/eclipse (loss of hope, disillusionment); and the full moon (self-discovery, strength). The album draws inspiration from NIKI’s musical influences, infusing its triptych song structure with eclectic styles – R&B, pop, urban, funk, country – from stripped-down piano ballads to lushly orchestrated anthems. A full two years in the making, 'Moonchild' has brought NIKI together with such collaborators as producer/writer Jacob Ray, the producer collective Bekon & the Donuts (Kendrick Lamar, SZA), and Montreal producer Pomo (Anderson .Paak, Mac Miller), who is credited with additional production on “Selene”.
