backburner is my song i mean everytime i listen this song it always brings me to tears, it hurts me but I kinda enjoy it because the song is so amazing lol

[@teokengchuan]

First time I've heard of Niki. I'm not from Indonesia but from the tiny island of Singapore north of its huge archipelago. I'm going to take some liberties and claim Niki as our own sister from Southeast Asia. Anyone who has made it to Tiny Desk deserves our love and respect. Wonderful little set with a bunch of talented young musicians. Well done, Niki, the only way is up. You've made us real proud.

[@strawberryshortcake219]

❤

[@stqriee5]

I’m from Singapore too! She’s performing at F1 in September :) She recently had a concert here last December, she’s a great performer.

[@artanakill0016]

Love from Indonesia

[@adien31]

Feel free to claim her. We need a south east asian singer representation for this era, we used to have lea salonga

[@letitbe978]

She from china

[@Nicholas777ful]

Tiny Desk has it’s own standard, and it make how we love listening to their production. This video proof that Niki already has a standard same as other popular artist. I love the music arrangement and sound engineer. Niki song is so touching, but the violin make it more magical. I’m listening this video for 30x times and it just gives me more energy and spirit. Good job guys and so proud of you Niki

[@dissydose]

THANK YOU TINY DESK TEAM FOR INVITING NIKI AND THANK YOU NIKI FOR BEING OUR PHENOMENAL INDONESIAN PRINCESS

[@maisarahsheilla8674]

YASHHHH!!

[@rafvierthstein5210]

She is from Phillippines guys.

[@dotslashdotslahsdotslash]

@@rafvierthstein5210 She's definitely Indonesian. You could easily google it up, and that if you actually knew how.

[@dissydose]

@@rafvierthstein5210 let me revise: she's our southeast asian princess. we cannot fight because we need SEA artists get more recognition.

[@noname-po3de]

Everytime Niki do this raw vocals with her acoustic guitar... it brings me back to the days when she used to cover songs. I now realized that I have been here all along listening to Niki and it makes the lyrics more special for me. I love you Niki ❤❤ I will support you always.

[@RafaelUnplugged]

You're in for a treat Rachel, welcome to the club!

[@dwayneari]

Got lucky and saw her and the band by chance at Outside Lands San Francisco. Surprised how good and polished they all are. Hope I see NIKI again.

[@THIIIIRSTY]

I found NIKI through my listening adventures of 88 Rising artists and it honestly got me through the last half of 2022. I'm so happy seeing this today. Every single album is magic in its own way. Thanks for this beautiful gift on another cloudy day 💚

[@martinvollrath2641]

Wow, so talented musicians. I closed my eyes and dreamed. Thanks.

[@sghound]

PROTECT HER AT ALL COST. as usual, big up the tiny desk engineer for the wonderful audio.

[@Best_Playlist_Of_Gospel]

I would listen to this song every day but a night before one of the scariest exam papers, I listened to this song and the words " late in the midnight hour God's gonna turn it around, it's gonna work in your favor" sounded like I heard them for the first time. At that moment I knew God got me in that exam the next day. And now I'll be graduating 🥺

[@hippoc07legendary99]

Her songs paint wonderful images in my brain. I wonder if she has thought about writing musicals seems a perfect fit

[@louisaamabel708]

oh my god yes!! I love musicals and i think she'd be a great writer

[@charizarr.d]

that is such an apt way of describing her songs 💖

[@shaitremor5130]

So proud of you Niki! Accidentally discovered your music back in 2018 and I immediately fell in love with your style and lyricism. I could listen to all of your songs every single day 🥺💗

[@snorlax318]

19 minutes of pure joy i cant stop smiling

[@bryanangelo2253]

I was waiting for oceans end engine 😭 niki and the band was amazing!!!! It fills my heart up very beautiful music to hear

[@rsmrybblt]

she looked so nervous but i love the way she deal with it.. proud of you NIKI🎉❤

[@IneziaAmanda]

Yea i think so too! I’ve bern watching all of her live and shes def nervous in here❤️ love her tho

[@JEIDIKVNSKY]

[@fain_amp7557]

Itu pasti, karena Taylor Swift, The Cranberries, Post Malone, dan yang lainnya pernah di sini. Tapi, Niki hebat!

[@biummmm]

Omg i got Backburner and The Apartment We Won't Share, my favorite. Congrats Niki, so proud of you😭

[@valdamaria5654]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING NIKI ONCE AGAIN AT TINY DESK IM SO GRATEFUL

[@iskotayo1]

This girl grow up and progress beautifuly... So proud of her, been with her since her first song in youtube... ❤❤❤ U NIKI ❤ 88 rising...

[@xack9013]

Omg after Zee Avi from Malaysia, we got Niki for Indonesia represent. We love to see south east asia on this!❤❤❤

[@InternetGirl1093]

I’m so sad she didn’t do some of her more popular songs, like “Indigo,” and “La La Lost You!” I get it, she wants to share the newer stuff, but those songs are so good and more upbeat than the songs she shared. I’m grateful she performed “Every Summertime” though, I love that one too.

[@agnarjuanjanitra8001]

That both song didn't match the vibes that Tiny Desk has. Its more for chill acoustic songs version

[@InternetGirl1093]

@@agnarjuanjanitra8001 I disagree, I’ve seen many artists come and perform faster songs, but in the acoustic style. Of course she would’ve adapted them for the vibe of Tiny Desk. Plenty of artists have done it before, look at Anderson.Paak’s, Megan Thee Stallion, and the legend, T-Pain’s tiny desks. It’s possible to adapt fast songs to an acoustic setting, that’s how music works!

[@mnonomno1264]

Love her new music but still my all-time fave of hers is Little Souls from her KZbin cover days and I was a bit upset she didn't include it in this album

[@mukticahyadi2721]

From Dahsyat to Tiny Desk NPR, so proud!!

[@kyutd1212]

Yeeeyeyeye lalalalaaaa

[@zanelin4589]
