Another Garden

NIKÉ’S DEBUT ALBUM
Niké in a brown dress holding a colorful bouquet of flowers, standing on grass, with a blurred background and the words 'Another Garden' written in the top left corner.

Now I can move on,

find another garden to grow.

Smiling Niké in a white T-shirt and rust-colored dress holding a bouquet of yellow and red flowers, outdoors with greenery and a white trellis.

Another Garden is a 7-track musical reflection on learning to let go.

A journey from a pop-produced lush synth-focused Saturday, through tranquil piano tracks (She, Eclipse, and Lullaby), a thunderstorm of a track (Ticho po bouři), all the way to a full-orchestral version of Better Gardener.

The album features powerful storytelling and bold harmonic choices with honest vocal delivery.

We each have a garden. We tend to it with great care. Places, people, flowers. It’s hard work. The hardest part is when you start realizing your role is done, fulfilled. It’s time to find another garden to grow.
