Nikki Nicole breaks free with heartfelt new single “OUT”

Honk Magazine

Nikki Nicole comes correct in the form of her latest single, “OUT,” featuring Ron Browz. It is a raw, compellingly emotional, and soulfully charged song with a soulful freedom that feels as honest and real as any song you have ever heard. Bringing her personal stories into unforgettable melodies that leave everyone feeling emotional yet ready for whatever comes their way. “OUT” is the moment you decide to stop sugarcoating all of this and start to step into your truth, no matter how hard or ugly that truth may be. Nikki Nicole, in her usual fashion, transforms heartbreak into solace, molding her written form and vocal modulation like brushstrokes to an emotional canvas.

Her voice surfs a tide of vulnerability, sometimes soft and aching, at other moments bold and willful. Balancing on the tightrope between Pop and R&B, the track possesses the smooth grooves and melodic textures of early 2000s heartbreak anthems and 2020s production and emotional precision when it comes to storytelling. There’s just an artist putting herself on the line, met by beats that keep it happening, that beat-thump like a racing heart that just wants to calm the hell down. What’s remarkable about “OUT” is Nikki’s emotional intelligence as a writer. She’s a writer who takes on the subject of lost love and into the realms of self-discovery that come into focus as love dims.

It’s the tiny lyric that implies self-blame, the quivering moment before the explosion, and then the breath of clarity. This is for anybody who has ever had to take their voice back, who has ever had to walk away, and who is willing to do it in style, to do it with flair, with a fire playing in their heart and a killer hook playing in their head. “OUT” is unapologetic, artful, and achingly human. It’s a testament to the fact that sometimes the greatest love story is the one you write with your own life after you leave.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
