Nieri Releases Debut EP 'Starshine'

Dance pop artist Nieri releases his debut EP, Starshine. out now.

Written and recorded between Los Angeles and Stockholm, the EP features five glossy, electronic pop tracks that offer a glimpse into Nieri's life, struggles and aspirations.

The EP's first single, "Beautiful Music" is a club anthem that celebrates the pleasure of dancing the night away. The synth-forward "Face" sees Nieri confronted with the idea of bodily perfection, and the ethereal "In Our Eyes" explores the emotional challenge of "making it".

While the title track "Starshine" is a personal song dedicated to his younger self, the highlight of the EP is "Body 2 Body", a slinky track co-written with Swedish artist Ingrid Witt. Mixing elements of deep house with 90's dance, the futuristic production makes this song a sweaty, dance party in outer space. With its euro influences and a flirty, catchy chorus, "Body 2 Body" will be stuck in your head long after you've left the club.

Nieri explains: "Body 2 Body" talks about the need to connect with people as a primal instinct - not necessarily sexually, but physical sensation as a form of closeness and community. In a world where almost everything is virtual, the dance floor is one of few places where we can let our inhibitions go.

Music and dance have always been part of the human race, and this song celebrates the amazing connections that happen when we let our natural instincts guide us through rhythm and melody."
