This time linking up with Canadian chart-topping songwriter Liz Rodrigues, who’s previously worked with international superstars such as Celine Dion, Eminem and Nicole Scherzinger, “Down to Earth” explores that rare and intimate moment in a relationship when two people, trusting their hearts, are ready to reveal their true selves to one another. POLI NIKA perfectly captures this notion, celebrating every step towards openness and the sensation of floating in space. Commenting on the process she shares, “It’s always unnerving for me to embrace that vulnerability; as I sing, I am celebrating every tiny step towards openness. Towards the sensation of floating in space.”

Casting a spellbinding sound of ethereal sonic textures capped by her stunning vocals, “Down to Earth” presents a mesmeric listening experience via a dazzling song. Brought in by the hushed tones of soft piano notes, POLI NIKA’s elegant voice threads delicate melodies carrying poignant lyricism above.

With the swell of hazy atmospheric tones, her voice drifts through a silky sea of reverb to craft a truly beautiful sound. Full of blissful melodies, meaningful lyrical writing and gentle instrumental arrangement, “Down to Earth” sees POLI NIKA deliver an enchanting sound that’s impossible not to love. The perfect showcase of her enduring sonic vision and vocal performance panache, it’s a graceful single that’s sure to speak to the hearts of listeners around the world and connect with them in a profound way.
