In this single, NIKI takes a trip down memory lane of her adolescent years in high school. She cleverly sings about her teenage rebellion, as she reaches for connection and love. The song follows the first two singles, “Before” and “Oceans and Engines”, in which both dwell on a broken relationship. With scaled-back production, NIKI continues to showcase her evocative lyrical ability at the age of 17. The “High School in Jakarta” music video, directed by Isaac Ravishankara (The Lumineers - The Ballad of Cleopatra) expands on the story depicted in "Before” and “Oceans and Engines”, completing the Nicole - Short Film trilogy. In a love story told in reverse, the “High School in Jakarta” video shows how Nicole and Ben meet in high school and start their relationship. About “Nicole” Nicole, the highly-anticipated sophomore album from NIKI, is a love letter to her songwriting roots. Nicole comprises of 12 songs NIKI penned as a teenager in Jakarta and brought to their ultimate form — an artistic journey that dives deep into love, heartbreak, and the purity of her songwriting spirit. Nicole is slated for an August release and will be followed by her debut headlining North American Tour. Speaking on the album, NIKI adds, "This project is without a doubt my most favorite thing I have ever made as an artist. It’s where younger me and current me meet and hang and have a blast together. No words adequately convey how stupid proud I am of it & every part surrounding it".
