After a brief rest on the bench, Cover Star returns this week and shines spotlight on the uniquely named songbird Nycki Simz.  Putting a mature spin on Ariana Grande‘s latest hit ‘Break Free,’ press PLAY below to see how she fares.

Alright then!

We definitely give this two thumbs up.  Nycki nailed all of the song’s “signature” parts with ease – a feat for anyone trying to cover an Ariana Grande song. Adding a bit of -umph to the number with her country-tinged vocals, Simz’ twist on the tune helped her make it all her own without getting lost in the travel.

Bravisimo!
