Nikita’s Waiting: A Liminal Space Between Heartbreak and Healing

By on February 28, 2025

There are albums that tell stories, and then there are albums that make you feel the story, deep in your bones. Waiting, the new EP from Nikita, is the latter. It doesn’t just narrate the aftermath of love lost—it embodies it, makes a home in the space between what was and what could have been.

The first offering from the EP, “Kill Her Mind,” is the sound of overthinking set to music. Swirling guitars, layered vocals, rhythms that feel like a slow unraveling—this is a song that knows the ache of circular thoughts all too well. “It’s about wanting silence in your head and not getting it,” Nikita explains, her voice carrying the weight of someone who has lived through every note of her own creation.

New York City pulses through her work, a heartbeat of restless energy. She tried LA for a while, but her sound softened there. Back in New York, the edges sharpened again, and Waiting is proof. There’s beauty in that grit, in the tension between solitude and longing.

For those who want to step into this world with her, she’ll be performing at the Annie O Music Series at PAC NYC on March 8 and at Arlene’s Grocery on April 22. Live, her music takes on another dimension, existing in the space between artist and audience, between personal and universal. Just like Waiting itself.
