Nina Sky
What could be better than a beautiful, multi-talented female R&B singer/songwriter? Nina Sky fans already know the answer to this question: a matching pair of them. The double-threat duo, composed of identical twin sisters Nicole and Natalie Albino, brings a lot to the table; both possessed of powerful singing voices and strong songwriting sensibilities, the two look to a wide range of influences, incorporating Nicole’s skills as a DJ and guitarist, their Puerto Rican heritage, and production from some of the biggest names in the music industry today into an intoxicating fusion of pop, hip hop, and R&B.
After four years of traveling, performing, writing, and collaborating, the sisters are preparing to release the follow up to their self-titled debut album, whose “Move Ya Body” brought them success in the clubs and a number four spot on the Billboard Hot 100. Sophomore effort The Musical, set to drop in the first quarter of 2009, will reintroduce Nina Sky as a mature, versatile twosome, and showcase their growth into masters of the songwriting craft. The album’s first single, the Rick Ross-featuring “Curtain Call,” gives listeners a taste of what’s in store on the forthcoming release..
In an exclusive interview with DJBooth’s own DJ “Z,” Nina Sky step inside the booth to talk about the family member who inspired them to become musicians, the sheer volume of material they’ve recorded in preparation for the new album, and their favorite producer to work with in the studio.
