Our words weren’t even cold as we lamented the complete absence of Coloured artists from the MetroFM awards lineup, particularly in the hip-hop category, when we get wind of the nomination of Nikki’s new album, “Evolution” in the best produced album category.
Produced by Lindsey Arends of Black-Note Entertainment, Nikki’s album signals a return to the heart and soul of R&B. With some catchy house tracks from her EP included on the Evolution album, Nikki’s talents come shining through in this latest release.
The production oozes quality on every track with an undeniable international sound. In fact, the album kinda sounds outta place for a South African production, so polished and refined is the end product. I was fortunate enough to land a copy from Lindsey a few weeks back and it has been on heavy rotation in my car ever since.
Big-ups to Nikki and her production team, Lindsey Arends, Black-Note Entertainment, Anthony Webster and the rest of the crew. I’ll be rooting for you guys to win the award!
Track 10 on the CD is by FAAARRR…my favourite. Go out and get it!!!
