BNikki returns for her second appearance on the podcast and brings a lot to talk about. Since her last visit, she's released two new singles "Spontaneous and Riding Alone" and an official music video for Threw Me in the Fire. Smooth highlights how each release shows a different dimension of her artistry while still feeling cohesive. The conversation gets into the short film she created for Riding Alone, a full cinematic production shot at Circle G Ranch in Agua Dulce with a full crew of cinematographers and videographers. BNikki breaks down her creative process and talks about the intentional ambiguity in her visuals how she designs her storytelling to invite multiple interpretations from viewers. She and Smooth also get into the nature of artistic storytelling itself, discussing the difference between a “story” and a “tale” and how individual songs function as chapters within a larger body of work. A great episode for fans of independent artists building something real.
