Nicki Nicole just revealed the release date for her fourth studio album, NAIKI. And she did it in the coolest way possible: by bringing back her younger self to show her everything she’s accomplished over the years. In a two-and-a-half-minute teaser, Nicki had us all saving the date for November 21, when we’ll finally get to hear her new album.

In the video shared on her social media, we see today’s the Argentine feeling a bit stuck. Stressed over the deadlines and pressure that come with finishing an album. That’s when she finds a clever way to bring back her 2019 self, complete with her iconic blonde bob, reminding her (and us) just how far she’s come since then.

Nicki tells her younger self how much she’d love to regain the confidence she had when her music career was smaller and felt less overwhelming. She even shares some of the big wins and milestones she’s hit along the way, like filling up the Movistar Arena nine times, a goal she could have only dreamed of years back.

Then, in a funny yet revealing moment, she shares with her younger self her past relationship with Peso Pluma. Launching a bit of shade his way. Her younger self reacts in surprise to seeing a photo of him, saying, “Wait… you went out with him?” This playful interaction adds a personal touch, connecting her fans with her past and present self, as she opens up about the highs and lows she’s faced over the years.

The Wapo Traketero-era Nicki Nicole is back

This creative, movie-style announcement has excited fans not just because Nicki Nicole is coming out with NAIKI on November 21. But also because it feels like the artist they first fell in love with might be making a comeback. Five years ago, she was the rising star of Argentine urban music. She was confident in her unique sound and style, capturing the scene with tracks that quickly won her a dedicated fan base. Now, as she teases her return, fans are ready for her to reclaim her place and make her mark on both the Argentine and international music scenes.

Earlier this summer, Nicki hinted at this evolution in an interview with LOS40. Here, she shared some details about the creative direction of her new album. She explained that NAIKI represents her going back to her roots and making the music she truly wants, referring to her start in rap, which she plans to bring back in this project. According to Nicki, this album will show her growth as an artist but also highlight her love for the genre that helped launch her career.

It’s clear that Nicki Nicole is ready to bring back the bold, unapologetic artistry that first captured fans’ hearts. While also reflecting the experiences, challenges, and growth she’s experienced along the way.
