New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Off the back of an intimate album launch party in London, and recent DJ sets at Anjunadeep Explorations, Awakenings and Brooklyn Mirage, Dutch DJ/producer/vocalist and songwriter, Nicky Elisabeth, has shared her beautiful new single, "
Memories".
A divine and sentimental blend of electronic pop and melodic house, Nicky's dreamy vocals soar wistfully over rolling percussion and shimmering synths. In her own words, "This is a nostalgic love story where I reflect on past experiences and cherished moments. It's about learning to accept the past and being able to let go of it."
Following "The Lights", "
Close To You" and "
The Game", "
Memories" is the fourth single from her anticipated debut album, The Way of Love, out 20
September 2024 on pioneering electronic label, Anjunadeep.
The Way Of Love is a project that embodies Nicky's journey of self-acceptance as an artist, showcasing her expansive sonic palette and deep musings on love, romance, perceptions and the self. The debut albumpromises a candid insight through Nicky's creative journey, ambitions and desires, told through blissfully emotive and gently euphoric electronic pop; equally as primed for sun-soaked festival crowds and club floors as it is for inner world moments created through intimate headphones, home listening, or scenic, long drives. Drawing on her deep love of pop and downtempo home listening selections, as well as her selections and tacit club knowledge shaped by a decade spent DJing around the world, Nicky is carving out a strong signature sound.
On her anticipated debut, Nicky shares "'The Way Of Love' signifies my journey to finding self-love. In writing this album, I've experienced many creative and personal obstacles that needed to be overcome to reach the place I am now. I remember when I started writing many years ago, I was obsessed with the idea of being able to capture my being in music. I desperately sought after authenticity to define myself sonically. Now, when I look back on that goal, it seems utterly absurd. This album is a collection of all the different shades and shapes I can take on as a person, and together they partly show you who I am, but never completely, as I am ever-changing."
