First Listen: Niia is Tired of Being On The “Sideline”

lmao

July 1, 2017 — Niia is singer/songwriter from Needham, Massachusetts who first appeared on the scene with the track “Sweetest Girl,” a Top 20 single on which she collaborated with Wyclef Jean and Akon back in 2007. Last month, she released I, her long-awaited debut album.  Niia’s music trends toward intimate, smooth and soft R&B with a dollop of pop on top. 

We feature here “Sideline,” a slow-jam duet with Jazmine Sullivan that is a vocal tour de force.  Enjoy.
