Modern Pop Songstress NIIVA returns to the show to discuss her single "Friends"!   “Friends” is best described as a taste of forbidden fruit. With smooth, intimate vocals overtop an infectious beat, this fresh new single is bursting with the sweet, familiar anticipation of the classic “friends to lovers” narrative that we all know and love.   In other news, NIIVA notably co-wrote record-breaking debut single “Black Mamba” for KPOP girl group aespa, which reached No. 1 on the Billboard World Album charts, No. 1 on the Top Album Sales chart and No. 3 on the Billboard 200 chart. She has also recently returned from a second song writing journey to South Korea. Bulgarian-born, England-raised, NIIVA initially moved to Vancouver, then Toronto and has found her home with music. With 1.6 million streams under her belt, the singer-songwriter’s debut self-titled EP showcases NIIVA’s ability to weave relatable stories with conversational ease.
