Nili Hadida

Description

Driven by a solar force and a need for freedom, Nili Hadida (singer of the band Lilly Wood and the Prick) will release her first solo album on October 12, 2018. Take a few belongings, her musical instruments, a computer. Get into a car, a train, a plane. Leave alone. Take the leap. With no one else but herself. Nili Hadida releases her first solo album, a grand, intimate, and sensitive record, with a dazzling simplicity, free of clichés and embellishments. After a wild rise with Lilly Wood and the Prick, which included three albums, nearly ten years of touring, and just as many victorious pop hits - including Prayer in C, remixed by Robin Schulz and sold 3.5 million copies - Nili has changed course. She has returned to the center of her earth, her own latitude, her equator. "A band, even though I loved it, is an artistic and personal compromise," the singer whispers in our ear, over tea and many cigarettes. She enlisted the duo Christian Rich (N.E.R.D, Diddy, Lil’Kim) for production. And for mixing, she turned to Jimmy Douglass, who has worked with Justin Timberlake, Björk, and Kanye West: "a true love at first sight." The result of these chic collaborations can be found in the interstices of the eleven tracks on this album of timeless beauty, with arrangements that oscillate between prestigious pop and elegant R’n’B. Her first single, Covered In Luck, has grand ambitions while remaining very intimate. An immediate hit that does not skimp on feelings and thrills. And it is undoubtedly here that the strength and beauty of Nili Hadida lie: managing to create an album ready to conquer stadiums while looking each of us straight in the eyes and into the heart.
