Nia Archives Chooses Self-Love On 'Conveniency'

Confronting feelings of neglect, Nia Archives deliberately chooses to choose herself rather than settling for a shallow friendship on her new single 'Conveniency'.

Originally born in Bradford, the now London-based artist unflinchingly cuts ties preferring to remove herself from bad energy, but she cannot help but question the reason for her friend’s behaviour.

Effortlessly her soulful vocals smoothly capture the emotion and hold it against the addictive and energetic beat that combines elements of lo-fi jungle, an acoustic guitar and a bass drum that raises the blood pressure.

'Conveniency' is Nia's third single released in the build-up to her new project, and shedding light on the upcoming EP and the story it will tell, Nia shares: “Sunrise Bang Ur Head Against The Wall is that feeling when you’ve been at an afters and you’re in someone's kitchen… there’s all these thoughts running through your head, the sun comes up and it’s the most disgusting feeling ever with an element of bliss at the same time.”

“All you wanna do is bang your head against the wall and teleport home. Across the EP I’m broadly talking about growing up as a person, reaching new levels of maturity, love and loss, rejection, estrangement, the come up and the come down.”

“It’s the most exciting project I’ve made yet and it's a window into the future and the kind of artist I wanna become. It’s six tracks with six different moods soundtracking the recent chapter in my life.”

With a hands-on approach during the undertaking of the accompanying video, Nina works with Delphino Productions in editing and directing the video.

The video is shot using a VHS camera held by Nia as she documents her and her friends skating in London and enjoying the weather.

This year alongside dropping her new project, Nia is scheduled to tour across the UK and Europe, as well as make the trip across the pond for a live performance at Coachella.
