Dreamy indie pop arrangements with surprisingly bold and energising vocals – Nia Perez pours her heart into soul into both the writing and performance process, and the result is a compelling and intimate yet often euphoric, personal EP.
Things I Wish I Said compiles five original songs from Nia Perez, reflecting as a kind of collection of unsent letters to people from her past. It’s a relatable concept, the looking back, the regrets, the what-ifs, and Nia presents it in an accessible way, with just enough individual twists of realism to make the music feel authentic – and her vocal style more than reinforces that truthful core.
From shapeshifting right through to the closing song little old flame, the EP is deeply evocative, consuming, and creative, and it highlights the subtle nuance of Nia’s voice and writing style in a way that’s easy to fall into. Great songs, alternative but with that essential catchy edge and emotional peak to hit with impact. A lush collection, and a fine introduction to Nia Perez.
