Niver's style is influenced by her love of "
soul divas" and she has cited
PJ Harvey,
Frank Ocean,
k.d. lang,
Björk,
Lucius, and
Neko Case as musical influences. She began her music career after her future producer and band member, Alex Bingham, encouraged her to share her work. She had recently moved back to the United States from Thailand and had been recording music with the software program
GarageBand. Later that year she provided back-up vocals for an album by Porch Light Apothecary. Niver has also performed as a
chanteuse at the
O. Henry Hotel in Greensboro as part of their jazz series. The track
Give it Up, which was later featured on her second album, was released as a single on July 20, 2018. The album was recorded in January and February 2018 at Fidelitorium Studioes in
Kernersville with recording engineer Jeff Crawford and was produced by Bingham. Niver's second album,
I Still Look For You, was released for digital download on July 31, 2018. The album, centered on loss and the stages of grief, was inspired by the loss of Niver's grandmother who died from a heart attack in 2016. A single on the album titled
Second Time references a dream Niver later had about being visited by her grandmother, which she saw as a reflection of her own grief. In September 2019 Niver released the single
Mosquitos, which she said she wrote while hiking in the
DuPont State Forest after a bad breakup. The music video for
Mosquitos, also released in September, was directed by Wilson Hester and filmed by Peyton Lea. == Discography ==
