What is a wedding or karaoke session without someone belting out ‘At Last’, that timeless ballad of longing made famous by Etta James? Singer Nikki Fyah has been performing the song for years, and recently made it official by recording it.
Her reggae version, produced by Da Global Base, was released in September. For Nikki Fyah, ‘At Last’ is the ultimate love song.
“It represents the epitome of hope in romance. Much like my life, it gives credence to the fact that ‘the right one’ can appear at any time, at any age and under circumstances you can least expect,” she said.
Previously known as Nikki Browning, she recorded a handful of songs before giving the music business a break, to focus on family and studies.
In Nikki Fyah, the Kingston, Jamaica native believes there is a stronger, more dedicated artist.
“Nikki Browning was intimated by the forces in the industry. And even though she was encouraged to step out and shine, she was not confident in what she could deliver, hence the reason it was so easy to hang it up many years ago,” she said.
