Following her exciting introduction, with last month’s politically charged single ‘Pay Attention’, which was supported by several leading African online and radio tastemakers, London-based Nigerian musician and painter Nissi, who is also Burna Boy’s youngest sister, returns with a brand new single titled ‘Criminal’ – the second track from her forthcoming debut EP Downtown, which is scheduled to be released in October. New single ‘Criminal’ sees Nissi collaborating with producer Cornel Sorian once again, to deliver a rousing Jazz-tinged Funk/R&B offering, backed by lush bass guitar arrangements and glorious horn sections, over which Nissi sings beautifully about “wanting to be a criminal tonight”, and the – sometimes reckless – lengths we often go, for people and things that we are attracted to.
