Nia Marie Captures the Fleeting Magic of Summer in ‘when the summer ends’

Nia Marie is a Queens-based singer-songwriter bringing back the soul of playful R&B through her storytelling. With a background in classical violin and contemporary piano, Nia brings her musical expertise to skillful storytelling and composition. After releasing singles like ‘Let You Go’ and ‘Selfish’, Nia Marie returns with ‘when the summer ends’. Her talent shines when storytelling shapes the structure of her music, rather than just its composition and melodies.

“‘when the summer ends’ blends nostalgia with the magic of New York summers and their endless possibilities.”

With her breathy vocals, Nia brings to life emotions that feel like changing seasons. She magically transports you into a world where each season can be personified as an emotion, person, or situation you’ve experienced. Throughout the song, there is a sense of fleeting energy surrounding love and nostalgia, just as fleeting as New York City’s summers. It’s magical, yet drifting. She brilliantly captures the uncertainty of a person, feeling, or moment, drawing comparisons with a season changing. Produced by her long-time collaborator Juan Arango, the song’s production throws you into a dilemma: the uncertainty of not knowing what comes next, while embracing the anticipation of a new chapter in your life. If ‘when the summer ends’ resonates with you, it’s worth a listen. The song speaks to the deepest parts of your soul that hold nostalgia and the hope of new beginnings.
