Nia Archives - So Tell Me...

  • Tender guitar, strings and brittle breaks make for a swooning jungle love song from future superstar Nia Archives.

  • My first thought on listening to Nia Archives' new single was Bloc Party. Something about the tender, slightly downcast post-punk guitar hits that note. But there aren't really any comparisons when it comes to the London singer—her blend of jungle, R&B and bedroom pop is all hers. "So Tell Me..."—about overthinking, insecurity and a romance gone wrong—is built on an indie-inspired blend of guitars and heart-tugging strings, but the bouncy and surprisingly intricate breaks add an edge that keeps it all from floating away, the kind of thing you listen to on the bus with headphones in, staring at rain drops sliding down the window as you ponder your mistakes.
