L.A. by way of St. Paul, MN singer Nikki Jean flickers like a warm bonfire on a distant shore on the ethereal new album Beautiful Prison – a record that is teeming with Jean‘s soothing vocals as set within ballady electro-pop arrangements. Album highlights include a bewitching indie rock spellcast called “Driver” (which gets a video workup helmed by the singer herself); some breezy, end-of-summer magic called “Pink Lemonade“; the floatable trap-soul number “Beautiful Prison (Know Me LIke That)“- which serves as the album title track; and a slinky nu-soul treat called “Mr Clean“ (which features frequent collaborator Lupe Fiasco). You can listen to (and buy) the album via the links listed below as well as catch up on the latest music and news from Nikki Jean by making sure that you’re connected to her via the social links listed below.
” ‘Beautiful Prison‘ is heartfelt, gorgeous hip hop/R&B that will sound amazing coming through your speakers. It’ll get you moving, but the depth of her lyricism will also grow on you and allow you to form a really personal connection to the EP as well.” – Chi Chi Thalken via ScratchedVinyl.com
