This pop recording originates from the Philippines. The work, titled California (feat. Warren Hue) [Acoustic Live Version], ties to the creative arc that grew into NIKI’s third studio album, Buzz. What eventually became Buzz started with an urgent quake from the innermost core of its creator’s being. NIKI’s songwriting remains as intimate as ever across all music released as part of this era. Buzz reverberates with the hard-earned wisdom of a young woman who charges dauntlessly towards her dreams. That same young woman can still spare a laugh if she stumbles, a thread of warmth and humility that runs through every creative output from this period, including the acoustic live iteration of California that features Warren Hue. NIKI shaped the album’s name to carry specific, layered meaning that underpins all music connected to the project. The album is called Buzz because it signifies that something is about to happen. The promise of something new, when it isn’t real yet, hangs rich and sweet in the air.
