South African-born songstress Nikki Williams set the bar impossibly high with her first single “Kill, ****, Marry” — a Sia-penned, Stargate-produced midtempo with majestically melodramatic production and the cleverest concept in a minute — but her next offering, “Glowing,” is equally impressive, even if it’s a departure from the sound of her debut. A house-inspired dance track with a synth riff that’s reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson‘s “Catch My Breath” and a throbbing backbeat, it’s a little sad but also optimistic — exactly the type of lonely-on-the-dancefloor track that should smash in the club.
All Vancouver radio stations. Sonic is always playing lesser known artists but I was really shocked to hear her on the other two as well. She's not Canadian is she?
