nia archives, isn't she the greatest?

didn't mention it before, but i really like her voice and feel like it adds a lot. feel like it's hard to sing over instrumentals this intentionally "cool," but her singing manages to make her seem even cooler than the music she's playing. which is something.

i didn't follow the year end threads this year but forbidden feelingz was one of my fav records of last year. i love her voice... i don't have a ton of reference points for jungle so in my head i've always heard her music as like a jungle take on neo-soul. something like "luv like" makes me think of an alternate universe take on jorja smith's career post-"on my mind"

also she's an incredible DJ. when i saw her she sang a few of her songs during the set which i don't think i've seen a DJ do from a DJ booth at a real club before. she has a deft hand as a mixer, has great taste & is really charismatic. very curious to see how her career unfolds

yea her boiler room was one of the better recent ones i've seen

this is excellent stuff, that Cocoa Tea sample is serious rob-bait

Love this EP, sent me back to her earlier singles, she's great!

singles for the new album (out this week) are wonderful although it's surprising how much indie rock is in these

love the club stuff, the santigold-esque indie stuff is not exactly what i'm looking for from her.

"crowded roomz," "blind devotion," "tell me what it's like" are all excellent
