Niki J Crawford's latest single "ElAy" off her forthcoming album "The Second Truth". Los Angeles, California - Soul / Funk / Rock / R&B Press: "If you have not heard of the name Niki J Crawford, you will soon. Hearing Crawford is like listening to a hurricane blending its thunderous roar into a serene rose petal. Crawford is like an explosion of perfect harmony with lasting vocal power. She is the real deal. Listening to her will make you stop in your tracks. It won’t be too long before Crawford steps out from the shadows into the national spotlight. She may even be the headliner of the Long Beach Jazz Festival someday. That would be a win-win for both the city of Long Beach and for the festival." - Dennis J. Freeman, News4 August 15th, 2016 "Niki J Crawford's music is mainly funk but she teases you with R&B, reggae and rock, eventually ending back up at the funk in a good and creative way. Crawford’s voice is immaculate. Best set of pipes around. She croons like Lucille Bogan and belts it out like Tina Turner—with all the moves too. Niki J Crawford and her distinctive band sounded great in this well-mixed room. Her vocals were pristine and sounded fantastic; soothing and smooth yet strong and powerful. Though infused with rhythms inspired by the likes of Tito Puente and Maná, don’t be fooled—Niki J Crawford is about the funk, funk, funk” - Pierce Brochetti, Music Connection April 5th, 2016 "Besides her striking beauty, first impressions of the singer include a powerful aura of strength and confidence. Yet when speaking with her it is evident that Niki is quite unassuming. If you look for her on the inter-webs you won’t find any elaborate websites or long winded bios. In fact, any background this writer could dig up was achieved only through conversing with her. An accomplished singer, songwriter, and movie actress, Crawford is a wildly talented and motivated woman. It is in front of a microphone where Niki shines bright. Her voice literally erupts from her being, turning each song into an exclamation of unadulterated funk and soul. She is fearlessly explicit, exuding sexuality and the unmistakable good vibe spreads like a blanket across the audience. This is quite evident just looking at the jaw dropped, awed faces of male and female fans alike when she performs. Strength of character and talent make Miss Niki J. Crawford a true woman of distinction" - Andre Reddy, Live for Live Music October 17th, 2013 Follow Niki here: http://www.facebook.com/nikijcrawford... http://www.twitter.com/nikijcrawford http://www.instagram.com/nikijcrawford https://soundcloud.com/niki-j-crawford http://www.nikijcrawford.com
