South Carolinan Nikki Lane has been singing her take on country for some time now. Although she classes her sound as
indie-country it is more on the
pop side as her silky vocals and big hooks are chart worthy.
Female country singers seemed to flood-in over the last few years, what makes Nikki stand out from the likes of Caitlin Rose and the musical side of Zooey Deschanel? Well, this being her second-shot at being musician after moving to Nashville Nikki has the musical roots from her South Carolina upbringing but offers more thanks to her moving about America in her twenties. She knows what she wants and how to get it.
Now twenty-eight with a well received debut record by both mainstream America and country fans, she is already thinking ahead to the follow-up and adding other influences away from country. It isn't just a lovely voice that the singer-songwriter possess, she also has a great fashion sense, similar to her music as she mixes vintage with modern-day chic. She also owns a vintage store in Nashville.
The nice thing about her is that she never claims to be an authentic country artist, she just comes from that background and she just does what she wants to do.
