The stunning collection - which features lead EP single "Young Love" - is the latest step in her transformation from incredible child prodigy to bona-fide pop player.

Today she shares the stunning new single "Miss You When I'm Drunk" with NYLON. Eloquent and soulful, the track transforms experience in love and heartbreak into unforgettable melodies. Nikki speaks intimately about her inspirations for the new single, reflecting on a very personal (& very relatable) lovelife experience:

"My boyfriend and I broke up for about two weeks, two years into our relationship (we have now been together six years). Needless to say, those two weeks sucked. I'd tell myself I was fine during the day, but then I'd sleep in his t­-shirts and with the teddy bear he got me at night. I wrote a song about how the truth really only came out when I went out and was at the same bar as him."

About Nikki Yanofsky: Nikki Yanofsky has topped jazz/pop charts and performed around the world since childhood and is a bona fide superstar at home in Canada. At age 13, Nikki became the youngest artist ever to record for Verve Records, releasing her cover of Ella Fitzgerald classic "Airmail Special" for the 2007 album We All Love Ella: Celebrating the First Lady of Song. She has since released multiple singles and albums, collaborating with such varied artists as Herbie Hancock, Elton John, Feist, Will.i.am, Ron Sexsmith, and Quincy Jones.

Her debut studio album Nikki was released in April 2010 and met with wide critical acclaim. The album featured the quadruple platinum single "I Believe". Nikki has been nominated for multiple Juno awards (Canadian Grammy), performed to a crowd of three billion at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games. In addition to her solo and collaborative work, Nikki featured on the Disney smash hit High School Musical Two (singing "Gotta Go My Way") and Disney's Everybody Wants to Be a Cat: Disney Jazz, Volume 1 singing "It's a Small World".

Combining pop and jazz influences with a fresh and youthful point of view, the keen songwriting talent displays talent and self-assurance far beyond her years. Solid Gold sees Nikki emerge as a pop star on the rise with an authentic story to tell.
