Nicky MacKenzie's soulful new EP MORALS with seven new tracks are an exploration of the emotional landscape the 23-year-old Canadian singer-songwriter has traversed since her debut album. In that time, MacKenzie has left her hometown, navigated shifting relationships, graced the stages of huge festivals, and played intimate shows. All the while, she’s been coaxing new songs and sounds out of this mercurial space, constantly pushing the boundaries of her artistry.
MORALS establishes MacKenzie as a skillful songwriter capable of both poignant restraint and irresistibly catchy pop melodies. Her kinetic vocals weave hypnotic R&B melodies into lush arrangements, drawing inspiration from the likes of <a href="spotify:artist:3GQboECxDT1xqPPWC30p7v" data-name="Charlotte Day Wilson">Charlotte Day Wilson</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:20wkVLutqVOYrc0kxFs7rA" data-name="Daniel Caesar">Daniel Caesar</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2FXC3k01G6Gw61bmprjgqS" data-name="Hozier">Hozier</a>. The EP moves from the quiet, introspective crackle of “Lost and Found” to powerhouse pop offerings like "I Should Go" and "No Man's Land," a dynamic, Dua Lipa-esque ride erupting with vibrant brass. Tracks “Grown” and “<a href="spotify:album:5BmM5sy4hoEUPgUoHBlPRm" data-name="Comfortable">Comfortable</a>” examine the space between adolescence and young adulthood, questioning what it will feel like to finally arrive in a place of self-reliance.
By focusing on the universalities that shape us—breakups, self-doubt, nights out—MacKenzie leaves space for her audience to unpack their own experiences. There is both grit and grandeur on MORALS, showcasing an indelible talent for crafting soul-moving songs that linger in the heart, body, and mind.
