Nikitaa – Majesty: Ethnic World Music R&B

Has anybody missed M.I.A.'s ethnic/world music take on pop music, this year? If the answer is yes, then keep reading, Nikitaa just released a song that has the potential to fill up that void for you.
"Majesty" has an interesting intro, there's a Disney-like distorted flute. As the first verse kicks in, the world music percussion is very warming while the flute goes a bit in the background in order to re-appear during the chorus. The vocals are satisfying, but in any case, I do not feel like this is a suitable track for Nikitaa to showcase her vocal range. This is a highly danceable ethnic R&B tune which one could only hope to find its spot among all the other dance floor hits this year.
Even a brief mention to M.I.A. is unavoidable as it is apparent that Nikitaa's music draws influence from her. We should also say that the song's lyrics are anything but mindless; she has released a lyric video for "Majesty", watch it here
