New York-based Nikki Buatti is a multi-talented recording artist, vocalist, writer, painter, and actress with a deep-rooted passion for music, influenced by doo-wop, Motown, and classic standards from the 1940s-1960s. A performer since the age of two, Nikki has showcased her talents across commercials, television, movies, and off-Broadway productions, all while remaining humble despite encounters with legends like Smokey Robinson.
Her debut single, “Retreat,” a captivating cover of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’ hit, is a soul-stirring blend of bold drum beats, melodic piano, rich trumpets, and sultry saxophones. Nikki’s passionate, powerhouse vocals breathe fiery intensity into lyrics that tell the thrilling tale of a scorned woman seeking vengeance. With its nostalgic, ’60s-inspired black-and-white visuals, the official music video adds an extra layer of retro drama to this striking R&B/soul masterpiece.
