The urgent quake from the innermost core of NIKI’s being that set her third studio album into motion infuses every choice that animates Too Much Of A Good Thing, a pop sound rooted in the creative ecosystem of the Philippines, carrying forward the same clear-eyed, intimate songwriting that defines the larger body of work it is part of. That body of work, which eventually took shape as Buzz, is stitched through with the hard-earned wisdom of a young woman who charges dauntlessly towards her dreams, but can still spare a laugh if she stumbles, a balance that never feels forced or performative, instead grounding every layer of the music in a relatability that comes only from lived, unfiltered experience. NIKI’s framing of the album’s title gives a window into the creative lens that shapes every sound tied to Buzz, including Too Much Of A Good Thing, as she explains that the name was chosen because it signifies that something is about to happen.
