Nia Wyn - 'Atlantis' / 'Ghosted'
Nia Wyn returns with a double dose of soul, sharing two tracks that, though different as night and day, form the perfect duo.
First up is vintage soul ballad ‘Atlantis’ – a song that is nothing short of breath-taking. Sensual beats and soft guitar lines dive deep into soothing waters as they turn into a magnetic chorus that makes you want to drown in Nia’s smooth vocals. As you would expect from a track named after a sunken city, ‘Atlantis’ is escapism in a bottle.
Track number two comes in form of RnB infused ‘Ghosted’ that takes you away from Atlantis’s dark mysticism and back to reality, but that doesn’t make it any less captivating. Nia’s witty, razor-sharp lyricism shines again on this one. To a backdrop of bouncy beats and dangerously groovy rhythms, she speaks her mind about relationships drifting apart - “You only wanna talk to me when things are going right for you. Only want to catch up at the time so it looks like it ain’t ‘cause of you.”
With these two singles, Nia has elevated her unique brand of sound even further, revealing more layers to her music with each new release. She is more than just a strong woman with an unfiltered opinion and a voice like velvet. Nia Wyn, ladies and gentlemen, is the full package and I’m counting the days until she blesses us with a full-length debut album.
