With Just A Hint Of Mayhem

Leeds-based electronic artist NikNak has shared a new single ‘Pandora’s Box’ via Matthew Herbert’s Accidental Records. The single features British-Jamaican vocalist AGAAMA. It is a chilled drum and bass-style tune that might have emanated from a pure and divine parallel universe. The vocal is like Bjork singing in the sacred halls of Asgard and finding the perfect acoustics. NikNak proudly refers to herself as “a self-proclaimed nerd and advocate for diversity“, now that sits very well with me. Of the song NikNak says “The track is about breaking free from AI, the heaviness of being human, and the conflicts we face with technology. I really love AGAAMA’s voice and have been wanting to work with her for a while now. We spent some time together in the studio, coming up with ideas about the concept and the track’s lyrical content, and listening to Florence and the Machine for inspiration. This is probably the poppiest track I’ve ever made and it was so much fun working with AGAAMA on this.” Get this tune in your ears now and check out NikNak’s new album ‘Ireti’. The video for the track is stunning and evokes some classic sci-fi films and tropes. You can also catch her live;
