Nikkie Gallant is a songwriter who performs heart-aching indie pop songs featuring lush vocals and tremolo-laced electric guitar sounds. The songs Nikkie writes have been called emotionally smart, earning multiple Music PEI Award nominations, including Songwriter of the Year.
The newest album, Subtle Motions, was released in 2022. It made its way up to the #1 position at CKDU FM (Halifax, Nova Scotia’s Earshot campus/community station), and earned a nomination for Music PEI’s Pop Album of the Year award. One of the singles was also nominated for Song of the Year, and another was selected for the No Depression Best of September 2021 playlist.
Nikkie also released two singles in 2022 in collaboration with New Brunswick artist, Kylie Fox.
Nikkie's third album, Subtle Motions, dives into the complexities of relationships and life. With support from Nathan Wiley, (producer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist), Subtle Motions explores a more adventurous sound than her previous recordings. The songs take the listener on a journey: opening with firm resolve at the ending of an unhealthy situation, followed by the unfolding of new feelings (with all of the lovely longings involved), before moving on to the crushing twins of heartache and grief. If you let it, Subtle Motions will float along beside you through the complicated moments, turning loss into strength, hesitation into anticipation, and solitude into connection.
