New Music: Nikkiya-"Nobody But Me"

Check out Atlanta-based songstress Nikkiya's video for "Nobody But Me" from her new album SpeakHer.

We have a soft spot in our hearts for Nikkiya here at The Yamm. No not just because the chick is talented, but because she's from right here in Columbia, SC. Nikkiya has been doin' her thing for years and we wish her all the best. Can't hate on raw talent! Go girl!

Trendin': 70's Glam

I'm loving 70's inspired fashion for the fall so much that I'm not even going to pain your pretty little eyes with a bunch of words...just visuals.

Oh yeah, play the YouTube clip of the song "Paradise" by Change while you're viewing. Sure it's a stretch but man I feel so 70's when I hear that joint! Be inspired! :)

Nikki looked like the Queen of the Doodle Bears while Katy,at times, looked like Rainbow Bright's younger sister on acid. As Wendy Williams would say "I can't"...no bueno.
