A heart-stirring pop hit about love with beautiful vocals, accompanied by a bright acoustic guitar performance.
This song is inspired by the elements of the earth, talking to whales, and reconnecting with the planet. And all this in order to show the endless love in the heart of My Ria!
The acoustic version of the song was born at a solo concert. The color of the string accompaniment gave new emotions and the fans really liked it, so we decided to record it in the studio.

Stay at home and close all the doors
Call your mom who won't answer
Cry alone then smile like before
No one could ever understand her

Am I wrong to think that nobody cares about me 
and the things that I do, 
despite all the help I gave them too

If I leave the door locked would anyone come and help me
I care too much about them
Now I'm left behind once again

I'm not paranoid
It's simply what I see
My chair already filled
By someone else but me

We talked but I never spoke
My words always left incomplete
My shadow never missed
And always out of reach

Am I wrong to think that nobody cares about me 
and the things that I do, 
despite all the help I gave them too

If I leave the door locked would anyone come and help me
I care too much about them
Now I'm left behind once again

So tell me when
Tell me when you leave me too
Don't shy away
Feeling out of place
How much can I wait
How much can I take

Am I wrong to think that nobody cares about me 
and the things that I do, 
despite all the help I gave them too

If I leave the door locked would anyone come and help me
I care too much about them
Now I'm left behind once again

I'm not paranoid...

The City Where No One Says Goodbye (feat. Matt Penman)

Inspired by 17th-century composer Barbara Strozzi, Nikita has reimagined and crafted her own poetic translation of "Che si può fare" as a Baroque & Roll arrangement. The song’s cyclical melodies reflect the relentless, round-and-round thoughts that often surface during sleepless nights. 

Though altering classical pieces is often taboo, this track seamlessly merges her classical roots with a bold reinterpretation, showcasing Nikita’s distinctive sound alongside guitarist Patrick Hinds. It pushes the boundaries of classical music and breathes unexpected new life into this timeless work. 

The track’s raw, pared-back recording underscores the unfiltered emotion of the performance, allowing Nikita’s vocals to remain at the forefront without excessive production. 

Taken from debut ep INSOMNIAC, supported by Help Musicians. For creatives with busy minds.
