Music News - Nico & Vinz Announce New Zealand Concert
09 November 2015 - 0 Comments
At long last,
celebrated Norwegian duo NICO
& VINZ announce their debut tour of Australia and New
Zealand, which will kick off with a concert at Auckland’s Studio on April 7.
Tickets go on sale at 2pm this Friday, November 13. For complete tour and
ticketing details, visit: livenation.co.nz.
Hailing from Oslo, Nico & Vinz (Nico Sereba and Vincent Dery) write and
perform songs that speak joyously of life, love and identity. With a sound
reminiscent of The Police and Graceland-era
Paul Simon, these exciting new songwriters of Ivorian and Ghanaian backgrounds
expertly infuse their influences – from pop to reggae, West African dance to
hip hop, rock to soul.
The duo’s breakout single, Am
I Wrong, reached #2 on the ARIA chart as well as climbing to the
top of the charts in Norway, Denmark, Finland and Sweden in 2013. Claiming
numerous accolades and awards, the single is triple platinum in Australia and
has also received 20 platinum combined-certification in Scandinavia, and almost
double platinum in the US.
Upon its US radio debut in 2014, Am
I Wrong instantly became the #1 most-added record in the Top 40,
while also claiming the honour of being the single most Shazamed song
worldwide. With more than 115 million streams to date, the single dominated
streaming and download charts worldwide.
Nico & Vinz performed both Am
I Wrong and its soaring follow-up, In Your Arms, at the Nobel Peace Prize
concert at the end of 2013. Vinz describes that experience as surreal: “I will
never forget it. It was one of the all-time highlights. We had dreamed about it
four years earlier, and then it happened.”
Drawing on personal experiences with regret and despair, the duo’s latest
single That’s How You Know (ft.
Kid Ink & Bebe Rexha) further expands Nico & Vinz’s range – mixing
stripped-back instrumentation with bare, honest lyricism to stirring effect.
The song has been certified gold in New Zealand and remains in the top 40 after
13 weeks.
