Her craftsmanship on the piano is more than just elegant. Songs like “Sky Writer” and “Revving Wings” grasp that inner feeling of intense emotion. The combination of Nikki’s powerful vocals serene musical melody, especially in “After Today” and “Little Green Piece of Life” capture such intense feelings of incredible beauty, that it feels like falling in love.
