Nia Archives’ much-anticipated new track is the epitome of a tune that hits you right in the feels while making you want to dance your heart out. Written in the wake of a memorable summer festival experience, “Crowded Roomz” offers a deep dive into Nia’s life on tour, a whirlwind existence where she’s surrounded by people, yet often feeling isolated in her own skin.
The music itself is rich with rippling guitar lines weaving through tight drums, creating a rhythm that grabs you from the very start. Nia’s intimate and heartfelt lyrics paint a vivid picture of loneliness and social anxiety, and to complement the song’s emotional depth, the music video – directed by Nicolee Tsin – is a one-take journey, where we follow Nia as she traverses through endless rooms, each filled with lives unfolding around her.
The video takes us from the recording studio to a friend’s house, from the bustling tube to a pulsating rave, offering a kaleidoscope of intrinsically British cultural touchpoints. What’s particularly striking about this video is the meticulous attention to detail; from vintage rave flyers to Corbin Shaw flags and Vivienne Westwood shopping bags, the video is a nostalgic ode to the UK’s cultural heritage.
Nia has crafted a song that serves as a heartfelt narrative of the struggles many face in a bustling world, set against a backdrop of infectious beats and an impeccably crafted visual experience.
