On the flower-filled balcony of her momma’s 1930s house, the young singer-songwriter recharges herself with her 6-string and a notebook. During the pandemic-lockdown of 2020, she releases her debut EP ‘Balcony Baby’ where she manages to subtly add a melancholic, dark edge to serene, easy-going songs. The acoustic EP vividly archives what would have otherwise been lost to cool breezes in the hot summer air. Known for her clear voice and rhythmic guitar skills, Nikki Henskens boldly climbs onto various stages and quickly sets the audience on edge with covers and work of her own. Her music can be described as a mix of indie/pop/rock, in combination with intriguing chord progressions on the guitar, warm vocals and fine lyrics. Her single ‘Time’s Long Forgotten’ (February, 2021) breaks the spell and covers themes about time, existence and death. The rhodes-ish piano sound and misty synth gently pull you into a dreamlike environment. While her soft vocals welcome any thoughts or theories about our existence here on Earth, the song ends up being a reminder to seize the day, which is an overarching theme in many of her songs. ‘Sticky Bar’ (June, 2021) is Nikki’s newest single and is all about a personal experience as a bartender/waitress at her favorite local brewery café. The place and people she met gave her a large dose of good energy and made her write this song.
