The Dawn\'s Rise release is days away!! Check back next week!
\"A new comer to the soul scene Niki Andre is ready to take center stage. On her recent release, First Light she makes a powerful impression with her soft voice. Her lyrics are not watered down for consumption but refreshing and nurturing for the soul.\"
-Bruce Campbell, Urban MD, WKDU 91.7fm, Philly
\"The New Soul of Niki Andre has caused a sensation. A tremendous voice...that we program almost weekly\"
-Mario Padilla, Radio Contadero, Spain
\"The first time I heard this artist, I realized immediately that this was a voice that beckoned my ears to listen. Niki Andre has an intimate quality to her vocals that actually draws the listener close to her music. Couple that with refreshingly honest and simplified lyrics that make sense and tell the story well and you have a budding artist who definitely deserves to grow and flourish.\"
-Cathy Young, Juno Award Recipient, Toronto, Canada
\"Rarely a so expressive voice mixes its deep and soft accents with very refined programming obtaining a so beautiful result. Niki Andre\'s voice comes from her deep heart and is strongly influenced by her blood and brain, finding the right way to put together perfectly electric and acoustic, music and words, performing and listening.\"
- Scazzola Giovanni Pietro, Radio Gold Popular Network, Carpento AL, Italy.
\"An amazing voice that produces not only a sound but a feeling that you\'ll want to experience again and again. Niki has managed to create a sound that is both new and innovative as well as much experience at the same time. A wonderful new talent. Look out for more from her very soon.\"
-Terry Neal, Presenter 101FM, Logan City, Queensland Australia
\"I immediately fell in love with he rhythmic, soulful voice. Her lyrics are as skillful and heartfelt as any artist who\'s been around for decades. Her current EP is a preview for greater things to come, she is definitely creating her own niche with her unique style.\"
- Heather Douglass, Soul Perspectives Producer/Co-Host, CKUT 90.3fm Radio McGill, Montreal, Canada
\"Niki is a wonderful singer-songwriter with an engaging presence both live and on record. A few more singles like lost Girl and with [the right] support and Niki has a very real shot at \'blowing up\' on the national and international scale.\"
- Jude Kelly, Chair, R&B/Soul Committee- 2003-2005 Juno Awards, Former Vice President- Urban Music Association of Canada
Niki\'s vocals are smooth as silk.
