Rising starlet Niia may only be 23, but she’s already collaborated with Wyclef Jean, Lil Wayne and Akon AND has released a number of covers from Lady Gaga to Nancy Sinatra. Her version of ‘Mad World’ takes the 80s hit (originally by Tears For Fears) and strips it down to a sparse and delicately beautiful track, with Niia’s featherlight vocals adding a wistful tone. Definitely one to watch, we cant wait for Niia’s next move.
