Talking to jazz singer Niia about bitter love songs and her new album, 'II: La Bella Vita'
Photo: Courtesy of Shore Fire Media Long before she chased down a career as a jazz vocalist, the artist known as Niia moonlighted singing jingles, chirping about Subway sandwiches and restaurants with unlimited salad and breadsticks on TV commercials.
Niia is a dark-haired femme-fatale type with the cheekbones of a Hadid sister, though she insists people only make that comparison if they’re drunk and that she’s really more of a shy music nerd than the “cool, mysterious Sade persona” often attributed to her. Niia released her debut album I, in 2017. In its review, the New York Times wrote, “Niia sings like a slow pour … She’s a singer who manages to call attention to herself while thriving in the shadows,” calling her sound, “trip-hop that strips away the pomp, leaving only the ooze.”
