Nikki W. - Transparent Hands

Hailing from London, Ontario up-and-coming 16-year-old pop singer/songwriter Nikki Whitehead, aka Nikki W. has just unveiled the music video for "Transparent Hands", the first single taken from her forthcoming debut EP Sad Generation which she co-wrote with producer Gavin Brown and is scheduled for release on July 29th.

Nikki's style is a vibrant mix of guitars, piano, and haunting synths, all layered over a restless and hard-hitting rhythm section held together by Nikki's enchanting voice. Already having been compared to artist such as Lana Del Ray and Metric, Nikki projects an emotional honesty and wisdom beyond her years. According to Sam Tweedle of The Pop Culture Addict, "Nikki’s voice and writing skills are astonishing for a girl her age."

Like every preceding generation, Nikki's is filled with distinct loneliness and fear. According to Nikki, she is ready, willing, and able to speak on behalf of "gypsies, wallflowers, and those without a voice." Her powerful, yet vulnerable, voice touches on love, doubt, sex, self-harm, and alienation – all themes common to Nikki and her peers. Nikki describes her music as "pop music with cuts, tattoos, and honesty."

With straightforward, yet poignant, lyrics like, "Don’t know who to trust and who to doubt" and "Someone like you is much too wonderful, lovely for someone as sad as me," Nikki has already garnered attention for her songwriting prowess.
