Like many Gen Z kids who grew up on the internet, Jakarta-born, LA-based NIKI's influences are wide-ranging and genre-busting.

Today, NIKI shares her latest EP wanna take this downtown? Sumptuously produced, with cutting turns-of-phrase salting her rich, sweet vocal delivery, the four-track effort precedes a forthcoming full-length from NIKI, who recently moved to Los Angeles to be closer to her 88rising family. 

Crooked Colours' sophomore album Langata, an atmospheric new world overflowing with addictive beats and soft, hook-laden vocals is out today via Sweat It Out (order).
