Get ready to be swept off your feet with “Down to Earth,” the latest single from rising indie-pop star POLI NIKA. To create this ethereal ballad, the artist joined forces with Canadian chart-topping songwriter Liz Rodrigues (who has a track record of working with big names like Celine Dion, Eminem, and Nicole Scherzinger).
“Down to Earth” is a love song unlike any other. Rid of grand gestures or passionate declarations, it pictures the intimate moment in a relationship when the couple is on the precipice of something real. This is when they decide to shed their masks. It layers on vulnerability and a whispered promise of something deeper.
The song opens with the gentle caress of piano notes, awaiting POLI NIKA’s stunning vocals. Her voice is smooth and rich, dripping with emotion as she sings “Open my heart, fall into my arms.” Each word drips with sincerity and sonority, aching for love and connection.
As the song progresses, the music builds, creating an atmosphere that’s both intimate and expansive. It’s akin to soaring through the clouds with Peter Pan, weightless and free—that’s the feeling “Down to Earth” evokes. POLI NIKA’s voice soars with the melody, at times delicate like a bird zooming past a lake or a sea with its wings ever so slightly touching the water and flapping back up with water droplets sprinkling in the air.
You will find the influences of Lizzy McAlpine, Yebba, and Lianne La Havas in her vulnerability. So listen to “Down to Earth” and muster up the courage to be truly seen.
