It has been a while since Niyoki released her first album. The singles He’s Here and Turn It Over were gospel R&B underground hits. Now she released her new album Rest. The first single Joy is an uplifting track that brings a smile to your face.
Rest is the life-enhancing, praise-filled sophomore release from anointed gospel vocalist Niyoki. Rest builds upon Niyoki's strong vocal talents and exceptional delivery while ably showcasing her ability to fully inhabit a song with heart and soul. Each song on the 13-track collection has a different sound and feel. The album crosses all musical genres to incorporate R&B, jazz, rock and even hip-hop. The stunningly beautiful and soothing I Will Rest, the praise filled
Where Would I Be and the layed back All That I Have are a few of the
highlights featured on Rest.It was produced by Ralph B. Stacy (Mario, Dru Hill, Jagged Edge and K-Ci and JoJo); Antonio Neal (EMI Gospel recording artist and producer for Canton Jones, Darlene McCoy, and Kierra "Kiki" Sheard); and up-and-comers Floyd Thomas and Quintin X. Coleman.
