Nídia started off releasing her productions on SoundCloud when she was 16. Her talent was soon spotted by label Príncipe which is composed of the children of African immigrants that are part of the rich tapestry that has settled around Lisbon. From that fabric came batida, a sound that originated from a mixture of influences (including kuduro, tarraxinha, semba, kizomba, house and techno) that is unique to the city, and its outskirts, and that feeds heavily into Nídia’s work. Nídia has just dropped a fresh track, 'Playboy'. The song's polyrhythmic beat keeps the track constantly energetic and exciting because it doesn't lock in an obvious way and the bass is equally as unpredictable. The keys are full of soul and life, giving a hopeful feeling in the stomach. Listen to 'Playboy' here! -Ellie Rose-Davies
