With Nina Sky due to release their delayed second non-mixtape album (The Musical) later this summer, I thought I’d make public that the duo is one of my guilty pleasures. Yes, the soundtrack of my life features groups and artists of the softer, female-based variety. Of course, I make this confession in confidence, so you shouldn’t spread it around.
There’s something about their simple harmonization that’s just plain ol’ catchy and easy to listen to. Oh, and they have the obligatory ‘sex appeal’. That helps, too. To prove it on the harmonization front, I’ve dug around in my bucket-of-fun for some collaborations they’ve done. Tell me you aren’t mesmerized. Of course, if you’re not a hip hop fan – and the samples below are pulled from my hip hop collection instead of their more R&B solo tracks – then definitely pick up their self-titled debut while waiting to buy the second album.
The Alchemist – Hold You Down (ft Prodigy, Nina Sky, Illa Ghee)
Garcia – Let Me Hear You Say (ft Pitbull, Nina Sky, NORE)(Hood Remix)
Pitbull – Turnin Me On (ft Nina Sky)(Remix)
Sean Paul – Connection (ft Nina Sky)
