The unstoppable Nia Archives makes a bold return with ‘Danger.’ A flirtatious track that marks the start of her latest diaristic chapter, ‘Danger’ is an acronym for a hedonistic manifesto delivered like a nursery rhyme: D is for me, A to the Zay, N is for my number you can block it all day, G is the spot, E is what we drop, R is for I really really love you don’t stop.
To celebrate, she shares a must-watch video directed by Claryn Chong that sees Nia embrace her sexuality and celebrate the female gaze – dancing for herself in the bedroom mirror oozing with confidence and energized by the butterflies of being in love. It’s a thrilling exploration of the transition from girlhood to womanhood and artistic self-expression, over skittering genre-bending alt-jungle beats.
Speaking on the single, she shares: “It’s definitely an X-rated tune, I really pushed that side – I’ve never even sworn in my music. But it’s a part of love… or of lust… that people get a bit scared to talk about. Being in your mid-20s, you’re figuring out who you are, exploring your sexuality… I think people kind of get stuck in girlhood, but really and truly, I’m 26 and I feel like I’m entering womanhood.”
