SINGER-SONGWRITER NICKI KRIS
Raleigh, North Carolina based singer-songwriter Nicki Kris joins Big Blend Radio with her latest two singles “Heartbeat” and “Rise.”
Nicki delivers a unique blend of dynamic songwriting and powerhouse vocal chops creating crossover appeal in multiple areas. Nicki has explored various musical styles over the past few years which has awarded her multiple Official Grammy Ballot placements in several categories for songwriting and performance, as well as several film/TV placements, and multiple songwriting awards.
Heartbeat is the follow-on to last summer’s smash hit Captain America, and the 2nd and title single off Nicki’s upcoming album. Heartbeat takes a very different approach, yet continues the storyline introduced with Captain America around the continuous 24-hour-a-day turmoil surrounding the current US political landscape and all the harassment and sexual misconduct stories and how there is never an opportunity to come up for air before another international “embarrassment” occurs.
Despite its negative viewpoint, the song does have a hopeful message, as sung in the bridge: “I’ve got to fight through the fear, things are not how they appear, I’ve got the truth on my side. You are not winning the war, ‘cause I can take this and more, and I will make this right again.” So, although each day has us dealing with more bad news, lies, manipulations, and distortions, there will always be hope, and love will always win.
Her latest single, Rise was written to inspire women to stand together and rise up against injustice and inequalities. Together we can influence #CHANGE.One voice may not be heard, but millions together cannot be silenced. Your voice matters – VOTE.
