About this concert
Le nombre de place est limité à 8 par commande.Ce qui est devenu Buzz, le troisième album studio de l'auteur-compositeur-interprète et star mondiale NIKI, a commencé par une secousse impérieuse provenant du plus profond de son être. Il en est ressorti une collection de chansons folk-rock chaudes et émouvantes, qui crépitent et flambent comme un feu de joie entre confidents. « J'ai traversé une crise d'identité », explique la jeune femme de 25 ans à propos de Buzz. « Il m'a fallu beaucoup d'essais et d'erreurs, et je suis tombé sur des morceaux de moi-même en cours de route. Je l'ai appelé Buzz parce que j'ai l'impression d'être au bord du précipice de quelque chose qui est sur le point de se produire. Pour NIKI, les choses se sont déroulées progressivement depuis son enfance à Jakarta, en Indonésie. Étudiante dans une académie internationale, elle s'est fait la main en griffonnant des poèmes d'amour en cours d'anglais et en reprenant à la guitare acoustique des chansons pop américaines sur YouTube. Une six-cordes à la main, sa famille et ses camarades de classe l'encourageant depuis le public, Nicole Zefanya a ensuite revendiqué la célébrité mondiale sous le nom de NIKI.Avec plus de trois milliards de streams dans le monde, des concerts à guichets fermés sur plusieurs continents, des sets massifs dans les festivals du monde entier, des places au premier rang à la Fashion Week de Paris, quatre chansons sur la bande originale d'un film Marvel, et certaines des chansons les plus phénoménales et les plus confessionnelles qui sortiront en 2024, NIKI a déjà un CV de vétéran avant l'âge de 25 ans. Sur Buzz, son écriture reste plus intime que jamais. Dans ses premières ébauches de chansons pour Buzz, NIKI s'est inspirée d'autres femmes qui ont ouvert la voie avec des paroles confessionnelles et honnêtes, accompagnées de guitares. « Joni Mitchell est mon étoile polaire en matière d'écriture de chansons », dit-elle, ainsi que des sommités féministes sans compromis telles que Stevie Nicks, Carly Simon et Liz Phair. Pour s'adapter à l'esprit vagabond de Buzz, NIKI a cultivé sa propre approche souple de la guitare. Pour mieux exploiter ce changement créatif et personnel, NIKI a commencé à faire appel à des producteurs qui ont déjà collaboré avec ses artistes préférés. Elle a fait appel à Tyler Chester, qui a composé des morceaux avec Madison Cunningham et Sara Bareilles ; elle a également recruté Ethan Gruska, qui compte Fiona Apple et Phoebe Bridgers parmi ses collaborateurs.Buzz résonne de la sagesse durement acquise d'une jeune femme qui fonce sans hésiter vers ses rêves - mais qui sait aussi rire lorsqu'elle trébuche.

NIKI Biography
What eventually became Buzz, the third studio album by singer-songwriter and globally-
renowned star NIKI, started with an urgent quake from the innermost core of her being. What
surfaced in its wake was a collection of warm, stirring folk-rock songs, which crackle and flare
like a bonfire between close confidantes. “I went through an identity crisis,” says the 25-year-old
of Buzz. “It took a lot of trial and error, and I just stumbled upon pieces of myself along the way. I
named it Buzz because it feels like I'm on the precipice of something about to happen.”
For NIKI, things have been happening progressively since she was a high schooler in Jakarta,
Indonesia. As a student at an international academy, she cut her teeth scribbling lovesick
poems in English class and performed acoustic guitar covers of American pop songs on
YouTube. With a six-string in hand, and her family and classmates cheering her on from the
audience, Nicole Zefanya then staked her claim to global stardom as NIKI.
And claim it she has - with over three billion streams worldwide, sold out shows on multiple
continents, massive sets at festivals across the globe, front row seats at Paris Fashion Week,
four songs on a Marvel film’s soundtrack, and some of the most phenomenal, confessional
songs being released in 2024, NIKI has already established a veteran’s resume before the age
of 25.
On Buzz, her songwriting remains as intimate as ever. In her initial sketches of songs for Buzz,
NIKI took cues from other lane-paving women with confessional, honest lyricism soundtracked
by guitars. “Joni Mitchell is my songwriting north star,” she says — and uncompromising
feminist luminaries like Stevie Nicks, Carly Simon and Liz Phair. To match the wandering spirit
of Buzz, NIKI cultivated her own elastic approach to guitar.
To further harness this creative and personal sea change, NIKI began enlisting producers who
had worked with her favorite contemporary singer-songwriters. She tapped Tyler Chester, who’d
captured tracks with Madison Cunningham and Sara Bareilles; she also recruited Ethan Gruska,
who counts Fiona Apple and Phoebe Bridgers as collaborators.
Buzz reverberates with the hard-earned wisdom of a young woman who charges dauntlessly
towards her dreams — but can still spare a laugh if she stumbles.
