Rooted in the Philippines, the pop sound that carries High School in Jakarta - Live at The Wiltern draws from the creative universe of the artist behind NIKI’s third studio album, Buzz, a project that grew from an urgent, unignorable quake originating from the innermost core of her being. As she developed the body of work that would become Buzz, her songwriting retained the same radical intimacy that had long defined her creative output, with the full album reverberating with the hard-earned wisdom of a young woman who charges dauntlessly toward the lives and dreams she has cultivated for herself, even as she retains the warmth and lightness to spare a gentle, unselfconscious laugh if she stumbles along the way.
