  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

  TRACK: Cool Me Down

  Artist: Nik

  Production: Nik and Sureet Sandhu

  Album: World Market Special

  Genres: Asian, Electronica, Pop, World

  RELEASE:

  The official press release announcing Nik’s new single, “Cool Me Down” has been released.  The track is available for download at www.digitaldesiproductions.com for free.  This chilled-out dance track blends sounds similar to Coldplay and Nine Inch Nails, with a tabla-induced Asian flare.

  “Cool Me Down” is the first new single released by the artist in 7 years.  “The song is sexy; just listening to it boosts your swag” says the artist of the track.

  The lyrics are quirky, clever, sultry and memorable: “Girl I ain’t no Edison, but I think we can light it up now.  No I ain’t no Elephant, but I ain’t got to jot it all down.  It’s burnin’ in my mind and I’m fine with a little bit of torture.  But the thorns in my side go blind whenever we touch.  Could you cool me down?”

  Nik is a South Asian performer, songwriter, rapper and producer; formerly known as One Signata Nach.  Nik has performed across the Globe and made a notable impression on socially conscious hip hop scene in the Boston, MA area.

  For “Cool Me Down”, Nik teamed up with Asian scene hit-maker Sureet Sandhu of Digital Desi Productions.  The duo also worked together on another track for the album “World Market Special”.  The album also features remixes with Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, Supercat and Rabbi Shergil.
