Today's Pick

Nicole and Natalie Albino, the identical twin duo known as Nina Sky, are back with a brand new music video for their latest single "Day Dreaming," the alt-R&B lead single to duo's upcoming sophomore set "Nicole & Natalie," which is due in July and becomes their first full-length effort since their debut album eight years ago due to label mishaps. The sisters are the same person representing two sides in one relationship, but in actuality, do not. One version is real, the other is fantasy.
Produced by Beau Vallis, the trippy yet seductive slapper "Day Dreaming" is a R&B flavored mid-tempo track with electro-pop sensibilities and fantastic; imagine if mid-'00s Timbaland took his skittish, snapping production to the dreamier, moodier 2010s soundscape where something like "I'm On One" can get huge. The synths on the chorus are dead ringers for that track's hook. The theme of the bass drum and synth layers allow the proper amount space for the enticing vocals from Nicole & Natalie.
The tense, unfulfillable relationship narrative's equally welcome-lines like "I wanna make sure we meet later in my dreams, even though you're not the one laying with me" and "I close my eyes to find you, you're my little secret, whenever I decide to, that's the way we'll keep it" will resonate for somebody, and the video's equally tense. One moment you're hopping subway turnstiles and clasping hands on the sidewalk; the next, you're nothing to one another. You don't even have to have a twin for it to happen, and either way, there's not going to be a resolution.
The Adam Sauermilch-directed clip is an absolutely stellar take on the classic 'the grass is always greener on the other side' motif as both girls are in what essentially appears to be the same relationship but with drastically different outcomes. It opens with Natalie doing some typical cute couple activities with a scruffy love interest, like coasting on the handlebars of his bike and snuggling between the sheets. Then it gets heavy, as brooding, edgier sister Nicole portrays all the negative aspects of a relationship with the same guy. Though duality isn't the most innovative concept for a pair of twins to tackle, it still makes for a dramatic and titillating visual.

The R&B twin sisters duo Nina Sky gives their fans something to enjoy while they wait for their next album, recently dropped their low budget music video for their new dance-pop and very upbeat single "Beautiful People" Friday, January 29, on their blog, Nina Sky High. This official lead single is supposed be the Stereotypes production, from their upcoming sophomore album, "Starting Today," which was formerly titled "The Musical". The album is set to be released sometime later this year with the likes of Rick Ross, Ryan Leslie and Daytona serving as featured guests on Polo Grounds Music/J Records.
The new video documents montage of Natalie Albino and Nicole Albino when they are rehearsing, doing live performances and spending time with some of their favorite people: family, friends, and fans. The Albino twins explains about the new video that People are always asking us "What have you guys been up to?" so we felt like it was the perfect opportunity to answer the question w/ a visual. "Beautiful People" is not just another video, it's some insight into what's been going on in our lives. This includes rehearsals, live performances, and spending time with some of our FAVORITE people: family, friends, and fans. A lot of artists have a different definition of what 'beautiful' means. These are good times with the most important people in our lives and they represent the REAL definition of beauty.
Identical twins Natalie and Nicole Albino came up with the name 'Nina Sky' by combining the first two letters of their first names for "Nina" and tacked "Sky" on the end to represent their shared aspirations. The teen pop duo grew up in the borough of Queens in New York City. Singing was always important to them, eventually so important they announced their desires to become professional singers to their parents. They are the one of those groups who can drop one album and still be remembered. It has been six years since we've heard an album from Natalie and Nicole, but it doesn't mean it isn't coming. It takes time to figure out what your sound is and these girls not only have it, they own it. They've released songs, in the last two years, that you may remember like "On Some Bullshit" and "Curtain Call." This record blazed a way to their new dance sound and garnered local radio buzz. Whether they take a light R&B approach or jump head first into dance music, their ultimate goal is to still make you move your body. The twins came a long way and it will be dope to see what they come up with once their album comes out!
