Nicki Nicole’s Elegant Argentine Trap

ARGENTINE SINGER Nicki Nicole first found success at 19, when she started uploading tracks onto YouTube that built off Argentina’s huge trap scene and displayed a delicate singing voice that got her compared to Billie Eilish. Now, she’s making her debut on Sony Music Latin with Parte de Mi, showing her versatility as she continues to find her voice. On “Sabe” she teams up with Rauw Alejandro, and on “Toa la Vide,” she joins forces with Puerto Rican rapper Mora. She’s at her best highlighting her unique delivery and phrasing, whether she’s belting big choruses, exploring understated prettiness, or delving into full-on rap. JULYSSA LOPEZ
