Born in Bulgaria, raised in England, and now living in Canada, electro-pop songstress NIIVA is addicted to love, and spins relatable stories about her romantic experiences in a confident, laid-back flow. With influences that range from Soul, to RnB, to indie pop, NIIVA delivers a beautiful, sultry vocal performance next to deep, future-pop bass melodies.

"Love Games" takes the listener on a journey of lazy Sunday-morning feels, as NIIVA finds defiance and strength in her contemplative investigation of a difficult relationship. With a casual, slow-triplet groove, NIIVA combines the lovestruck, throwback artistry of Amy Winehouse with a flair for modern, electronic pop vibes and hints of irreverent, youthful joy. Her intimate sound is made up of equal parts coyness and dangerous possibility, as she invites the listener into her lilac-tinted world of infinite tenderness. But don't get it twisted: she's in control, and that is not going to change.

This song is featured on our Soul playlist.
