Goth Jazz Provocateur Niia Offers Vintage Elegance and Surprises, In-Studio

Soundcheck | Mar 2

The singer and songwriter Niia has spent much of her career confounding expectations. She’s done smoky versions of old jazz standards as well as original songs that draw on dance music, hip hop and R&B, and live. The self-dubbed "goth jazz princess" is something of a provocateur, with her sensual music "living in the tension between control and collapse". Niia and her band play some of the songs from her latest release, V, in-studio. 

Set list: 1. Pianos & Great Danes 2. fucking happy 3. Maria in Blue
