Nina Sky, composed by twin sisters Natalie and Nicole Albino,was all the rage in the early 2000's, especially with their 2003 reggaeton collaboration with N.O.R.E.in "Oye Mi Canto" that put them on the map and with their hit single "Move Ya Body" released in 2004. Following their debut self-titled studio album in 2004, the duo released a 2010 EP titled "The Other Side" and a second studio album in 2012 called "Nicole & Natalie."
Following a three-years hiatus, where they worked on mixtapes, played gigs and embarked solo projects, the Puerto Rican sisters are back in the scene with a new EP titled "Brightest Gold." The album, which is inspired by love and their personal lives, will be released independently in the fall. "When you're signed with a major label there's so many people involved with what's going on," says Nicole to Vivala. "Now that we're independent, it's easier for us to just be Nicole and Natalie and for people to embrace who we really are."
Their single "Forever" released early this year is a taste of what's yet to come in the "Brightest Gold" ---an edgier, more mature and fresh sound. "We wanted something that was smooth but also had a bounce," the sisters told The Fader. "Spaceplant finessed the verses with a modern '90s freestyle beat pattern and built up the hook just enough that song still has it's original sweet vibe but if you drop it at the right time in a club, it will still go off!"
The other tracks in the EP are "Nancy," "Champion Lover," "Zero Gravity," "Lock and Key" and "The Brightest Gold."
