Music Reviews

DJ NIK:11 delivers a colossal sound on the jubilant “Kickback”. A modern mix of house influences from electro to tech house intermingle with such ease. The groove proves to be absolutely infectious for it demands to be played as loudly as possible. – Mike Friedman, Skope Magazine

NIK:11 is climbing up the Billboard Dance Chart with her new track “KICKBACK”. Billboard “Breakout Artist” next to Madonna and now “Power Pick” hitting the Top 20 next to Elton John and Jennifer Lopez on the Billboard Dance Chart. – UFO Magazine

“The vocal style of NIK:11 defiantly flows like a ship lost at sea, and I’ve only heard a handful of singers execute this style well within this type of music. From the first notes of this song thriller to the final winding twists and turns of the amazing ending “6AM” delivers on all fronts. NIK:11 has an appealing voice and strikes all the powerful component necessary when evaluating up and coming talent. Like aforementioned at onset ‘6AM” seem painfully simple yet as it moves, not to be underestimated. It has a sure direction however somehow digs deeper than the next electronic artist. Lyrics have a ring of truth to them, but despite this not so corporate approach there are parts to this piece that seem to be perfect and sudden when you hear the multi-layered beats and melodic tidbits offered.” – Jacob West, Vents Magazine

Anyone who ignorantly thinks that electronic music can’t be surreal, calculated and incredibly cerebral should do themselves a favor and check out “4Play,” the latest single from techno princess NIK:11. – Lori Reynolds, Vents Magazine

“NIK:11’s command over her audience is stellar, and whether you’re a fan of her style of music or not, she really deserves a lot of credit for how spellbinding and hypnotic her material can be”. – Loren Sperry, Music Existence

 

“I advise you buckle up your seat belts as the evocative and imaginative pulse of the latest single by NIK:11 (6AM radio edit) hits your speakers.”
– Anne Hollister, Indie Source Magazine

“None of the above really applies to NIK11. Why? Because the music and singing is 100% for real are oh so good! OK first off NIK:11 may not be Hip Hop but it’s something I really liked and like her I am also from Detroit.”Troy Johnson, Da Hip Hop Place

“The single “6 A.M.” from young artist NIK:11 heralds a powerful new musical voice fully realizing itself. NIK:11 isn’t merely content with building herself into some new figure on the modern pop scene.”Zachary Rush, Indie Music Reviews

“6AM” has a short but sweet structure, lending it more of a straight house feel but it could hardly be called straight techno built around NIK11’s voice at the sonic center. NIK11 reminds me of old school Robin S. but also Pendulum and Nina Karvis and Monika Kruse.”Scott Carlito, Indie Band Guru

“NIK:11 provides plenty of brief surprises that further spice the song up. The near Caribbean percussion near the song’s end adds some unexpected flavor without ever sounding out of place. It also helps accentuate the anything goes flair underlying every area of the tune. The song is particularly well constructed and remains one of the premier reasons why this young performer is and will continue to draw floods of attention from every quarter. It never runs on too long and the punch derived from the aforementioned radio edit makes it even more memorable. “Six A.M.” is a gripping musical experience.”Sebastian Cole, Gas House Radio

“During the journey one will notice rich layers of melodic soundscapes, synth-bass, sporadic electronic percussion, lush harmonies, keyboards, low end beats, sonic vocals, exotic sound effects and enticing melodies – all built on a thick as a brick rhythmic foundation.” – Mindy McCall, NO DEPRESSION Magazine

“‘6AM” has more of a direct and a harder approach, still with style and grace, as the tantalizing synth, drum, synth-vox redundancies hit full force.”
– John McCall, TOO MUCH LOVE Magazine

“The video is able to match the beat while showcasing the infectious energy of the effort. The bright lights, neons, and performers in the video for 6AM makes for a multimedia experience that one needs to watch and listen to before understanding every nook and cranny that is present deep in this composition. We are excited to hear more from NIK:11 in the months and years to come; I feel that this is EDM done in a fashion that the widest swath of fans will be able to find something that they can appreciate.”James McQuiston, NeuFutur Magazine 

“6AM” is one of those songs that you may just take for granted while you are experiencing it. This hard hitting edge has hidden moments of ambient electronica dance which give the song depth and fullness.”Xavier Thomas, Skope Magazine

“‘6AM” starts off with powerful prelude of sorts with hypersensitive melodic build, and rhythms you can feel and hear.”Michael Rand, Mob Angeles
