Following her exciting
introduction, with last month’s politically charged single ‘Pay Attention’,
which was supported by several leading African online and radio tastemakers,
London-based Nigerian musician and painter
Nissi, who is also Burna Boy’s
youngest sister, returns with a brand new single titled ‘Criminal‘ – the second
track from her forthcoming debut EP Downtown, which is scheduled to be released
in October.
New single ‘Criminal’ sees Nissi
collaborating with producer Cornel Sorian once again, to deliver a rousing
Jazz-tinged Funk/R&B offering, backed by lush bass guitar arrangements and
glorious horn sections, over which Nissi sings beautifully about “wanting to be
a criminal tonight”, and the – sometimes reckless – lengths we often go, for
people and things that we are attracted to.
According to Nissi, the inspiration
for ‘Criminal’ came from “having conversations with my friends, about how, even
though they were in relationships, they have met other people they just had to
talk to. Attraction is definitely one experience we have all gone through. This
song captures that feeling of wanting something or someone that can make you
commit a little crime, just to get your way”.
