About this Song
The first stirrings of what would become NIKI’s third studio album began with an urgent quake from the innermost core of her being, a visceral creative push that set every choice for the project in motion. From that initial spark, the songwriting that would form every track on the record retained the unshakable intimacy that has long anchored her work, even as the themes she explores expand to hold the hard-earned wisdom of a young woman who charges dauntlessly towards her dreams, refusing to let fear of missteps slow her momentum. That same wisdom leaves space for softness, too: the grace to spare a laugh if she stumbles, if a choice leads her off the path she mapped, rather than letting those small failures dim the fire that drives her forward. The name she gave the completed album, Buzz, distills that exact electric, liminal energy that fueled every step of the project’s creation, capturing the split second of potential that exists right before any new chapter begins.
