This is not your parents' jazz!
Say hello to Niia, a singer whose voice is as sultry as her looks.
This jazz upstart from New York has the potential to shake things up in the genre, who hasn't seen a female break through to the mainstream since Norah Jones and Diana Krall.
We've become enchanted with the following song from Niia, Bang Bang, a reinterpretation of the Cher classic.
