Nikki Rocks!

The wait is over! Nikki Webster is back with a hot new single, Something More Beautiful!

Are you just so excited that you have a new single out!!!
Yes!

What do you think of Something More Beautiful?
I love it! It’s different, because it’s in-between a pop song and a ballad.

How long did it take to make the album?
It took a week to record. Lots of songs are sent in and I listen to them an pick… There were so many good songs, but Something More Beautiful just stood out.

Is it fun to be in a recording studio?
Well, we had heaps of fun! Recording is also a lot of hard work, but it doesn’t feel like work because I love it so much!

How is this album different from the last?
It is a little bit older than Follow Your Heart, but that’s probably the only main … It’s also got some really amazing and fun things on it.

We’re glad you have another album out this year! There’s nothing worse than waiting! Did you have to work doubly hard to do that?
I didn’t want to wait too long either! It’s really hard waiting for the single to be released and the album to come out. I just want it all to happen now!

Have you changed?
I’m still me, but travelling has opened up my eyes a lot. You can always try different things. I don’t think that hurts! I’ve always had a lot of input into what I do, and I still do. I design all of my own clothes and I still say, “Why don’t we try this or that?” I’m definitely still the same person!

Welcome Nikki Webster

Unless you were hibernating during last year’s Olympic Games, this 14-gear-old needs no introduction at all!

No-one could have missed Nikki Webster’s show-stopping performance at both the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the Olympics and now, nine months on, Nikki is ready to take on the charts her first pop single, Strawberry Kisses!

However, Nikki’s position can’t be that easy. After all, being watched by billions of people around the world must be hard to beat. “I think it will be a very hard gig to top,” she laughs. “Having the whole world watch you and so many people remember it is huge. But to be there and to play a main role in something that will go down in Australia’s history is just amazing.”

Does Nikki worry that people will remember her performance at the Olympics so vividly that she’ll never be able to move on to the next step in her career? “I think it will always be with me because that was the first time that people ever saw me,” she agrees. “But I think that as I get older, people won’t go back to that so much. Who knows? Maybe they will get stuck on the Olympics – I don’t mind, cos I love talking about it!”

If anything will help Nikki move on, it’s her catchy new single and upcoming album. Strawberry Kisses is a cute and bouncy pop song – a world away from the ballad We’ll Be One or the songs Nikki has performed onstage in Les Miserables and The Sound Of Music. “It was time to change and get into pop,” Nikki smiles. “After I heard Strawberry Kisses, I was singing it all night. I thought that was a good sign.”

Meeting her idols Kylie Minogue and Olivia Newton-John at the Games, and recording her single and album by the age of 14 – what ambitions could Nikki possibly have left? “I’d love Strawberry Kisses to go to No.1!” Nikki says excitedly. “Really, I just hope everyone loves it as much as I did the first time I heard it, but it would be pretty exciting to be at No.1!”
