If there’s a word we could use to describe Nicki Wells’ artistic output, it would be ‘transitional’. Transitional, as in constantly in motion, always evolving, always reaching for the next step, building on the old while visualising the new. Wells’ latest effort, ‘I Have Longed To Be Here’, encapsulates that ethos to the fullest, resulting in a gentle yet evocative piece channelling anything from Indian classical music to Bulgarian folk. A solemn, celebrative aura is given to the song by Nicki’s vocals, extraordinarily dynamic and brooding, showcasing their powerful nature.
Gaining praises from the likes of Songwriting Magazine, Notion and BBC 6 Music, among others, Wells is quickly making a name for herself as a classic English songwriter with a unique vocal talent – a feature that’s so clear yet so rare.
In her own words, ‘I Have Longed To Be Here’ is about “the notion that we have consciously or unconsciously chosen to be exactly where we are right now from the choices that life has presented.” The peaceful and dramatic footage for the music video was created and edited by Ananya Tanttu.
