Singer/Producer Niia Announces Upcoming Album Alongside New Single “Forward”, Tour Dates

Critically-acclaimed singer and producer Niia has unveiled details of her next album OFFAIR: Mouthful of Salt. Due out April 8th on OFFAIR Records, the album was mostly recorded in her apartment in Silver Lake, California, where she took solace in an organic process of minimal instrumentation and jazz improvisation. Ambient elements and dreamy textures are at the foundation of Mouthful, and on her new single “Forward”.

“A Mouthful of Salt follows my deep obsession with the ocean. I wanted to compose a project that follows an actual underwater dive experience,” explains Niia of the new project. “This album has an affinity for water, however sonically it uses no aquatic or actual ocean samples. My hope was to create an auditory illusion through music.”

On “Forward,” Niia is joined by Gabriel Garzón-Montano and Biako for additional production. “I like the idea of falling forward,” says Niia of the song. “I also added sound bowls midway in the song and tried to use them as bells vs. constant tones.”

The combination of her soothing vocals and steady instrumentation make for a relaxing and captivating listening experience.
