tUnE-yArDs’ third album nikki nack sees her enlist producers to help her achieve new heights. Contributions from Malay (Frank Ocean, Alicia Keys, Big Boi) and John Hill (Rihanna, Shakira, M.I.A.) enhance tUnE-yArDs’ signature sound.
A record that could only have been made by its creator, at heart it’s heavy yet still retains a sense of fun. Experimentation is still key for tUnE-yArDs. Where the loop pedal and the saxophone were main components of the fi rst and second record respectively, it’s the drum that takes center stage here, augmented by greater use of synth and Nate’s growing prowess as a bassist.
With it’s its jump-rope-chant title, the brilliantly playful nikki nack continues the tUnE-yArDs story gloriously.
