Canadian Pop Artist Nicky MacKenzie Confronts Bad Habits on Sultry New Single “I Should Go”
Hailing from Salt Spring Island on Canada’s west coast, emerging pop powerhouse Nicky MacKenzie returns with “I Should Go,” a dark, alluring track that explores temptation, reckless nights, and the haunting pull of bad habits. With lush production and MacKenzie’s soulful vocals front and centre, the song captures the moment when you know you should say no but can’t help saying yes.
“I wrote this song about bad habits, dark and twisted nights, and the feeling you get when you know you’re supposed to say no, but you just can’t help saying yes,” MacKenzie shares.
Blending confessional lyricism with a rich, dynamic pop sound, “I Should Go” continues to showcase MacKenzie’s rare gift for marrying raw emotion with undeniable hooks. Her voice – often compared to icons like Alicia Keys, Amy Winehouse, and Joss Stone – brings a timeless depth to modern pop landscapes.
With over two million streams across platforms – including 1.3 million on Spotify and nearly a million on YouTube – Nicky MacKenzie is poised to be one of Canada’s most exciting new voices in pop.
Now collaborating with acclaimed producers Herag Sanbalian, Jasper Kuijper, and JUNO-nominated Gus van Go on her debut full-length album, MacKenzie is gearing up for her most ambitious chapter yet. “I Should Go” marks the beginning of this new era – bold, intimate, and irresistibly catchy.
