    I saw Nia as the opener for Dimension in San Francisco. Her style has always been this good, not to mention her stage presence was amazing. This is the breath of fresh air DNB needs. Can't wait to see what the future holds for her.

    @1:50 fanatical junglist since 1995, here; and that is what i initially thought myself. i had heard (and loved) "Forbidden Feelings," "Baiana," and her remixes for Jorja Smith and Fred Again before; but when i first heard tracks like "Crowded Rooms" and "Unfinished Business" i was like "eh, i respect the artistry and eclectic mix of influences, but it's a little too poppy for my tastes." But upon literally the second listen, i became hooked and obsessed, and have had this album on repeat for weeks. Maybe i'm just getting soft in my old age, but i can't get enough of her.
    Glad to see her getting some much deserved praise, and if this album doesn't get (at the very least) nominated for a BRIT award, it will be a travesty.

I mean it makes total sense that he'd be into that type of music but i never thought i'd hear a non-british person sing his praises like that. he actually references a song by the streets on 'party all the time' off XXX but i thought it was a coincidence until i researched the background of the song after he spoke about mike skinner and how a grand dont come for free is one of his favourite albums
