When babies are born or we are born. We are born clenching our fists firmly and tightly as if we are travelers that have arrived in this realm and we just took whatever is there before us and we shall create magic with these gifts that we have been gifted by the creator or universe just to be able to survive in this realm of the flesh and blood. 2022 in Mzansi's music scene is proving to be yet another stellar year, a year that many ain't ready for what is to come. All I can say for now is there is a storm coming and I have warned you that the content no the tracks that are coming are going to leave you begging for more and wanting more.
In my conviction, South Africa's RnB scene is taking itself to the stratosphere, no to the stars, no to the summit of your imagination and you are going to stay there until you have had enough but for me, you will stay there until the end of time, until Atlas exhales and drops the whole world that is resting over his shoulders.
Many reviewers and predictors might bang their pots and talk about this and that, who and who, that one and this one to me, they are mere Pluto's in the presence of Jupiter. They are mere wannabes in the presence of pure air, calm air, pure energy. Calm as the tranquil Eastern Highlands of Zimbabwe. Whose heart and aura is as gorgeous as the heart of a gift from the gods themselves. Surely... surely this time the gods are not crazy, she is the female version of Prometheus, she stole the Harp of Cupid, the armor of Athena, and the purity and innocence of Persephone and she wields Mjolnir and Stormbreaker at both ends ready to bring down the RnB space to its knees.
If you are a regular listener of TuksFM you might know the following artist that has the following lyrics "let it go just breath, I don't wanna feel this pain.." Nikita has an angelic voice, a nymph's melodic hymn that lays eggs in your ear canal. If you listen to another track an earworm will wiggle and take residency in your ear, but this worm is a good earworm. As it unleashes the soul to the heavens and it stays there until the kingdom comes.
You might be wondering where the hell is this piece going, enough with pussyfooting, let us dive into the core, crisp, of this passage. Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce to you Nikita Dawson the songstress has an enchanting voice that evokes that tames the raging waters in you, the chanteuse tames the beast in you, the songbird chirps till your heart comes to ease. As we are on the backdrop of her latest offering titled, "Sonder Water", this singer is gently making airwaves the time the market realizes her talents she will be long gone, way beyond the market scene of Mzansi. She is that chanteuse that has a voice and sound that deserves the attention of the world. On TuksFM during the Top40 hosted by Venita Engelbrecht, at the strike of 11:20am Central African Time. The hostess of the Top40 announced Nikita's latest single titled "Intruder" the single is for the mature at heart yet sexy to the soul. As I was listening to the track as it was being played on air, I realized that this track is the track for the intimately connected. The track evokes the demon time in many, the track is sultry, sexy, and innocent. The track got me daydreaming of that moment when my dearest beloved is around and we are fooling around like lost pups should be in a consensual space that is. The innocence behind this track brings out the demon time that lurks within. The beauty of existing and being young, wild, and free. The penmanship invested in this track is just stellar is just heavenly, for the lovers I recommend "intruder" to be on your playlist.
Observing from a distance the effort and time invested by Nikita as she offers a portion of herself to us the listeners. She takes time to produce a timeless classic, music not suited for the grown mature and sexy. Her penmanship, production is for those that understand the intention and meaning of art, her art is for those that understand the complexities of life yet make sense out of it all. Thus making her a standout artist that offers nothing but pure magic. In understanding and appreciating the circumstances that are before us as a generation, where the machine is the one that is dictating what is pure art. In my regard, the machine is just spewing out subpar artists that have bodies of work that do not match what they have to offer to the audience. As for Nikita from her tracks such as demanding closure to Sonder water to Bliss. Nikita has mastered the art of hiding in plain sight and her art is dedicated to those that understand the value of music based on the honest appreciation of the time and intention invested in the art in itself. Most might fail to understand her music as it is music that vibrates on a frequency that is way beyond the general ear of those that have been turned into sheeple by the machine. Nikita is the embodiment of pure class, genius, and greatness. Her sound and vision are that of the major global platform where her sound will laser cut through to the grand stage of major platforms such BBC Radio 1, Hot 97,ZiFM Stereo, MetroFM, 5FM, TuksFM among other top radio stations globally on streaming platforms such as Tidal, Spotify, AppleMusic, Nikita's music by the time the regular ear comprehends her approach it will be like, "fam! you came to the party late, but no harm done; take a seat and relax enjoy the music". She is a star where many have been designed by the machine, and they are told to sell, and tell the story of the machine.
To be given the access that many "industry plants" have Nikita will floor them and leave them introspecting and asking themselves what the hell have they been doing all along. She is a songbird that weaves a perfect work of art that is timeless as time itself, that matures like wine, and that leaves you addicted to the art invested and process considered to usher the community into a space that is rare and hard to find. All I am saying here and I put my writing career on the line for this Nikita is one star that does not need an introduction. The time you listen to her music you know that she is here to stay not for a season like most, she is here to stay for a while and she has just begun.
My recommendation would be that jump on to the Nikita train while it's still gathering momentum buy your golden ticket while it is on the offer. The golden tickets are slowly selling off the counter so hurry while stocks last.
The Chanteuse is an amazing singer that vibrates on the frequency of your Eryka Badu, Alicia Keys, Aretha Franklin, Miriam Makeba, Cesaria Evora, Chiwoniso Maraire, that frequency of heavenly explosion that offers the listener a liberated soul that is not afraid to tell its own story. Nikita has worked with Majorsteez on the 2019 track D.N.D the vocals laced in that track are just magical. She is one RnB songstress that is putting money where her mouth is at. South Africa's RnB scene is getting a major facelift and Nikita's voice is the pillar that is asserting itself as one of the continuous pillars that define the genre of South Africa and the rest of Africa. The texture, the skill, the approach, the technique which is uniquely related to Nikita and Nikita only. In my view creates her own worldly space a space that is for her and those that appreciate her delivery and interpretation of the genre as it is designed to serve those that appreciate her unique talents. Nikita is only a matter of time till she gets the masses' recognition, she has arrived and does not need to explain herself and her talents. What a time to be alive to witness a talent, a work of art defining the space, the genre, the music scene of South Africa and Africa. This is just the beginning and there is more to come and I was never ready...
Keep your eyes and ears leveled against the ground the album is dropping soon...
A message to Nikita, you have defined the art itself, your approach to this genre is epic and I know your sound is going places I believe in your talents.
