Niki Kini traces and teases the edges of R&B/soul, rap and hip-hop; blurring the lines with a stylistic charisma that is reminiscent of SZA and Tyla. Her presence, as an artist, as a woman, and even within the song is not something that goes unnoticed. She is vivid, remarkable, and addictive. Her latest release is ‘Watch Your Back’. Maybe it’s the combination of sassy and sultry; with perhaps some sprinkled sweetness. It keeps you in that loop for days. Her vocals are effortless, nonchalant, and a whole lot of fun. Especially in the way she holds and delivers the verses. There’s a little bit of dance in it. 

The neo-soul dimensions of the track is also quite interesting, especially as they phase into the catchy hip-hop beat lines. Imagine Camilla Cabelo’s latest album aesthetic with Sabrina Carpenter. That’s the floating vibe across the track. We also see Latin blues guitar work twinkling through towards the end; bringing a lovely dimension to the track. The best way to enjoy it is to cruise with Niki’ vocal energy as it seamlessly interacts with ambivalent beat and melodic flows. Listen Now! 

The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
