‘NiCKY makes music that exists in an utterly unique space…a Ru Paul finalist as envisaged by Jean Cocteau; somewhere between Anohni, Elton John, Leigh Bowery and David Bowie circa ‘Ashes to Ashes’...‘Closing Time’ era Tom Waits if he frequented the Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club instead of dive bars in 70s LA...Their cover of the Sandy Denny / Fairport Convention original ‘Who Knows Where The Time Goes’ is also the best we’ve heard.’ - Ransom Note
‘I love this track, it’s got chill out room vibes, subtly ravey’ - Deb Grant, New Music Fix, BBC Radio 6 Music (on the Turbo Tracey Billy Jack Remix)
‘The project takes sonic inspiration from the likes of Anhoni, Elton John and Perfume Genius, as well as The Carpenters and Sylvester — all while playing into circus and theatrical aesthetics…by is set to usher in what feels like a breakout moment for NiCKY.' - Happy Mag
‘When the piano is played so eloquently then there is nothing better. Add to that NiCKY’s resonating voice & something wonderful is created, the way notes die away like burning embers for the soul. And the way the keys communicate so powerfully. Try the beautiful, tearful 4frida…both the Sandy Denny cover of Who Knows Where The Time Goes and the closing, Here4u feel like torch songs that shine a bright light on the world. As does listening to NiCKY. This is a wonderful collection of songs and moods.’ - Magazine Sixty
'Like a cross between Nick Cave and the Eels, or Ben Folds on downers... a very intimate album filled with a certain warmth...hearing [Nicky] Harris tap their foot and pop off a few random spoken lines keeps things interesting to say the least, a tour de force' - The Hippo
‘This moving solo piano composition serves as a tribute to a time of isolation…Blending brooding and optimistic elements, the piece, conceived during lockdown, provides moments of sonic tranquillity intertwined with playful catharsis.’ - Pure M Zine (on ‘4frida’)
‘One of the exciting voices of London's queer art scene, with a style of expression that draws from a wide pool of inspiration from ANOHNI to Leigh Bowery’ - bant mag
