Nina Sky

Nina Sky deliver their blend of hip-hop, reggae and soul with the kind of tightly-wound harmonies that only twins can master. Smart, empowering lyrics and equally smart beats wrap their music in a sort of edgy-yet-meaningful classiness that brings to mind Mary J. Blige. Faves: "Surely Missed," "Runaway" and "Holla Back."

These two Queens-bred cuties -- identical twins whose stepdad was a DJ -- have come up
with a summer hit: "Move Ya Body," a club anthem complete with Beyonce-esque come-ons
and a dancehall-reggae-derived, vaguely Middle Eastern groove. The rest of their debut is a
little drab by comparison, but there's enough sturdy R&B and diva sass to keep you listening.
