The Making of Devilicious

Nikki on ‘Devilicious’

“To me it just means girl power and having fun, and being a little bit cheeky but in a good way, and being a little bit devilish, and really being positive about self-image and being a girl in a nightclub, dancing away and getting rid of your fear.”

“I’m really excited about this track as it’s my first in five years and I hope everyone enjoys listening to it as much as I did making it.”

[on the feedback] “It’s mixed and it was always gonna be mixed and I’m not gonna lie and say, ‘Oh my god it’s all positive!’ But I think we’re definitely breaking some ground. People are really listening to the track for what it is. It’s been four years since anybody’s really heard me sing and I think this track does what it’s supposed to: it showcases my vocals great and shows that I’ve progressed and I’m a pop diva, pop artist now! So it’s good fun.”

“I tried writing country music and went down the rock road, but Devilicious was a natural progression. This is who I am. I’m very pop and dance-based.”

“I think the good thing about the new film clip is that we never had a story line. So basically all I gave the director and the choreographer was that I wanted a huge warehouse with heaps and heaps of dancers and everybody hot and sweaty. But I didn’t want a love interest and I want everybody mixing with everybody and it just to be full on about dancing. That was the only description and synopsis we had and it just grew from there. Of course my choreographer, William Forsythe, the genius that he is just threw in 120 dancers. It was really incredible to walk into that warehouse and see that many dancers there supporting me.”

“I’ve heard a couple of people comparing it to Christina Aguilera’s Dirrty clip. When I sat down with my choreographer, etcetera, and said, ‘Where do you think we should take this?’ and he was like, ‘Definitely a dance clip.’ You know – no real story line, people dancing on top of each other, and extreme amounts of them. So definitely, we I guess looked at Britney Spears Slave For You.” (Source)

“Devilicious is about having fun and a little bit about being a woman and walking into a club. It’s a bit tongue-in-cheek and hopefully a great dance track. We started with typical dance electronic beats and built on from that. You know I’m a bit of a devil sometimes and naughty as well, so why not be a little bit ‘devilicious’.”
