Nik West Releases “Moody” Featuring Larry Graham & Cindy Blackman-Santana
Nik West has just released a new album called Moody, which shows off different sides of her musical personality. The album lays heavy on the funk with moments of tenderness and in-your-face rockers. It also features some funk royalty.
“I am so excited for this release!” West exclaimed. “I got to work with some of my favorite musicians on this one, including the legendary funk pioneer, Larry Graham (mentor of Prince) and Emmy and multi-Grammy winner, Narada Michael Walden (hitmaker for Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Carlos Santanta)!”
Graham is featured on the Prince-inspired “Thumpalenah”, while Cindy Blackman-Santana, Lari Basilio, and Caitlin Evanson guest on the female empowerment anthem “We Can Do It.”
