A heart-warming, soothing jewel, ‘Down to Earth’ introduces itself on a carpet of gloomy and poignant piano chords, further evolving into an orchestral anthem with a decisively evocative and elegant flair. POLI NIKA’s stunning vocals are the perfect match for such a nuanced production. Showcasing her lyrical prowess and the cathartic energy contained in her vocal tone, the Portuguese songstress delivers an emotional masterpiece, one we listen to with full attention and personal reflection.
Teaming up with notable Canadian songwriter Liz Rodrigues, POLI NIKA manages to pack ‘Down to Earth’ with immense fragility and authenticity, sharing a record that’s the perfect soundtrack for melancholic moments – or a worthy pickup from sadness and pain. In a sense, NIKA’s vocals have a healing quality to them, going to soothe self-doubts, existential pain and broken love.
Speaking about the ethos behind her artistry, the Lisbon-based talent explains: “It’s always unnerving for me to embrace that vulnerability; as I sing I am celebrating every tiny step towards openness, towards the sensation of floating in space”.
