In late October, The Nth Power percussionist Nikki Glaspie struck out on her own with “Sinister” a rhyme-filled rumination on the final days of the Trump administration, which also acts as her first-ever solo single.
The track comes off Glaspie’s forthcoming project The iPhone Sessions, a collection of tunes that presented a unique challenge.
“I wanted to find a way to teach kids that they could be creative with their cell phone,” Glaspie explained via press release. “Most kids don’t have access to computers or studios, but they do own smart-phones. At the foundation, we focus on presenting them with positive outlets to express their anger, depression, sadness, grief or anything they might be going through. These kids are surrounded by violence, drugs, alcohol, abuse and gang activity. We hope to provide positive reinforcement. So I started making beats on my phone to show them it was possible to make music with what you have.”
