Albums | NIKO releases Italian-English heartfelt record “Dance Again”
Posted by VMan on May 5, 2021
LA-based Euro Pop artist NIKO takes us on an uplifting sonic journey with his new track ‘Dance
Again’. Inspired by classic 90s trance, NIKO’s graceful vocals, effortlessly interchanging between
Italian and English, soar atop the synth leads and groovy bass line in a track fit for any dance floor.
NIKO says that ‘Dance Again’, “ is a song about feeling nostalgic. It was written at the height of the
pandemic when I was missing my loved ones who were thousands of miles away. The track can be
interpreted very literally (wishing we could go out dancing like we used to), however, for me, the
song’s message goes beyond that. It’s about leaving your home to pursue your dreams, feeling
homesick, and looking back on a time when life seemed a little more carefree. “
Written and produced remotely with producer Joakim Buddee between Los Angeles and Stockholm,
the creative duo wanted to create a song with a futuristic feel, influenced by artists like Róisín
Murphy and Charli XCX. NIKO is a 100% a new artist to keep an eye on.
