Niko Moon Releases Intimate Track “Dance With Me”

Niko Moon released a brand new track, “Dance With Me” available on all streaming platforms now.

Up and coming country artist, Niko Moon, known for his feel-good hits such as “Good Time” and “Paradise To Me,” released a new track titled “Dance With Me.” Although this track brings a similar mood, he would like the party to be much more intimate this time; just him and this new girl.

In the track, the lyrics portray a trip to Las Vegas that is not going well at all,  until the singer lays eyes on this woman, and suddenly he does not care about how bad he is doing at the casino. He then tests his luck and tries to persuade her to hit the town with him because, as the saying goes, what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.

Something ‘bout the way you look tonight / shining brighter than those neon, Vegas lights / got me feeling like I wanna roll the dice / and try my luck with you

Niko Moon New Song Dance With Me

Although Moon’s debut EP, Good Time was just released this past February, he is not new to country music. He has worked with Zac Brown Band in the past, writing, and produced songs such as “Beautiful Drug,” “Homegrown,” “Loving You Easy,” and many more. Moon’s style is a little different and at face value, it should not work—sprinkling his calm, subtle voice-over hip-hop, snap-track beat, acoustic strings, and an overall beach vibe–but somehow it does perfectly, making him so unique in this industry. We look forward to what is next for this very talented songwriter, producer, and now, entertainer.

Ryan Hurd & Niko Moon Bring the Platonic Tour to NYC

Niko Moon NYC

Last night country music fans in New York City were in for a real treat. Singer-songwriter and rising artist, Ryan Hurd brought his ‘Platonic Tour’ to Manhattan’s Gramercy Theatre featuring special guest, Niko Moon as the opener.

Tasked with warming up the crowd, Niko Moon took the stage first. The songwriter turned solo-artist is one to look out for in country music. We chatted with him before the show about the feel of his music and his excitement for playing for New York fans. Check out our Swag Session below. Moon sang several songs, giving fans a taste of his own music, as well as, songs he has written for other artists, namely Rascal Flatts and Zac Brown Band.

The singer sang his own songs like “GOOD AT LOVING YOU” and “PARADISE TO ME.” Highlights of his set included the medley of songs he wrote for Zac Brown Band, including “Keep Me In Mind,” as well as the song he wrote with Shay Mooney from Dan + Shay for Rascal Flatts, “Back To Life.” According to Moon though, getting to sing “Homegrown,” a song he wrote for ZBB was one of his favorites to share with the crowd.

Of course, Moon had to end his set with his first song going to country radio in two weeks, entitled “GOOD TIME.” The singer got the crowd pumped to groove along to the soon to be smash. “It’s a simple song guys, life is short you feel me, life is short,” adding, “Let’s get this shit going! Good time!” It’s safe to say that he garnered many NYC fans, during his incredible opening set.

The man of the night, Ryan Hurd took the stage next, immediately singing three of his groovy and vibe-filled songs to the crowd, including “Platonic,” “Her Name Was Summer,” and “City Girl.” Before singing his love song, written for wife, Maren Morris, “Diamonds Or Twine,” the singer-songwriter thanks fans for showing up tonight and shared some personal details with fans.

Ryan Hurd NYC

“New York City, night one, how we feeling?! Well, my name is Ryan if we never met before. Thank you so much for coming to our show tonight […] Seeing you all tonight is making me really happy.” In the wake of the tornado in Nashville, Hurd admitted to feeling really tired, but once again, thanked fans and his city for their unwavering support. “I’m really proud of my town for coming together, Nashville Tennessee. Sometimes it’s hard to be away from home when something bad happens, but you guys are giving me life tonight,” he said, as fans erupted into cheers.

Hurd went on to sing a cover of Taylor Swift’s “False God,” as well as some of his other songs, including, “Florida With a Girl” and “Panorama.” Of course, when he got to the middle of his set and sang “Hold You Back,” fans surprised Hurd by singing back all the words to the song as loud as they could. Hurd called the praise, “a really special moment in time,” and thanked fans again for their support.

Continuing the momentum, Hurd reminded fans that he started as a songwriter, writing songs for other artists across different genres. Fans went crazy as Hurd and his band gave their rendition of “Heartless,” cut by Diplo and Morgan Wallen and Lady Antebellum’s number one single, “What If I Never Get Over You,” another song penned by the singer.

“I love living in Nashville. I love writing country music. I wrote this song and I never thought anyone would really hear it and believe it was special,” adding, “I think country music is cool because we write universal feelings that each one of us has felt before,” he declared, just before mesmerizing fans with the Lady A single.

Hurd ended his eclectic and fascinating set with arguably some of his most successful songs, including “To a T, “Michigan for the Winter,” and a number one song he penned for Luke Bryan, “Sunrise, Sunburn, Sunset.” The singer returned to the stage for one final encore song, but first had to address the fans one last time. “I’m really thankful to be here with you tonight,” he said, “Please be nice to each other. This is my prayer for you tonight as you leave.” Hurd ended the night with his beautiful song, “Wish for the World.”

Hurd and Moon will return to New York City tonight to play for another sold-out crowd. We are excited to see what’s next for both artists, as we know big things are on the horizon for both talents!

Niko Moon Releases Feel-Good Tune, “Paradise To Me”

Niko Moon Paradise to Me

If you need some music that feels like a breath of fresh air, look no further than songwriter turned rising artist, Niko Moon. We first introduced you to Moon back in November in our Swag Spotlight segment, and we are excited to continue to the champion his unique talent and music. The creative singer-songwriter just released his newest song “Paradise To Me” and it’s one you’re definitely going to want to add to your music library.

Keeping with the vibe of his debut single “Good Time,” “Paradise To Me” is a feel-good tune, aimed to get fans moving and singing along. The song depicts Moon’s idea of paradise in such a way that feels fresh and innovative. It just so happens that his ‘paradise’ is conveniently located. He sings in the hook, “We ain’t gotta take it too far from home / A little bit of heaven is just down the road / Then we can lay back open up a cold one, take it slow,” adding late “Ain’t nothing wrong with that white sand and some ocean breeze / Right now this lakefront is paradise to me.”

“Paradise To Me” is the perfect song to continue the story that Moon wants to evoke to fans. The Georgia native’s knowledge of production, as well as, his way with words is evident on this track. It is clear that Moon has a clear picture of what he wants to convey to fans, and it’s working well for him.

New Yorkers can catch Moon on Ryan Hurd’s ‘Platonic Tour’ at the Gramercy Theatre for a two night run on March 4th and 5th. For additional dates and more information, head to nikomoon.com. We hope to hear in more new music at the shows, as we anticipate his debut record.
