Payback Is A Dog — Nia Smith

'I'm kind of exhausted at the moment,' she told NME from Brixton, a week short of her birthday and a month after Payback Is A Dog landed on May 29 via 0207 Def Jam. The exhaustion is earned. Jools Holland, Glastonbury, a Popcaan remix, an Ivor Novello Rising Star nomination, a MOBO Best Newcomer nod, and an invitation from Prada to Milan. Second EP, second time the room was right.
