Watch the video for nasimiYu’s new single “secretsecret” via PASTE!

“secretsecret” is an intimate piano ballad accented by ambient synths and otherworldly vocal accents. NasimYu’s artful musical embellishments lend a helping hand in making the track perfect for her talents as a dancer. The music video finds the artist partnered with fellow dancer Fabricio Seraphin in a home-turned-studio, weaving between rooms as the song progresses. More HERE

Stereogum shares the new video from nasimiYu, “secretsecret”

“One-woman band nasimiYu has shared “secretsecret,” a new single from her first album in seven years, P O T I O N S. Her signature blend of R&B and pop is what makes this song gorgeous, along with the vibrant music video directed by Jordan Edwards. Her voice is silky and sincere against piano, and it’s even more poignant with backing vocals and harmonies.“ WATCH HERE //  P O T I O N S is out 5/7 on Figureight Records.
