Damn I almost forgot about these chicks until I saw this article. Twin pop duo Nina Sky, Who you may remember had the hits, “Move ya body”, and "Turnin' Me On" took to Twitter to put their record label Polo Grounds on blast, begging to be released from their record contract so they could release their long-delayed sophomore album Startin’ Over independently. They have been working on their latest album since 2005. Here are a couple of their tweets:
Starting a new campaign today..”Nina Sky Doesn’t Play Polo.”
For MONTHS we’ve had a complete album, ready for release. Y’ALL wanna know what’s REALLY goin on?
Nothing + that’s the problem. We released 2 videos and singles without support from our label. All good.. Stayed positive… After months of no movement we asked to be released + still nothing. No acknowledment from the President of our label Bryan Leach..
Bottom Line, we want to be released. If you’re really down with our movement holler @ Bryan Leach.

If you remember their sophomore album, was called The Musical, when they first started working on it back in '05. I remember hearing two singles from that album “Curtain Call” with Rick Ross and one of my favorite tracks, the Salaam Remi produced “On Some Bullshit”. Both songs failed to spark some interest in their new music as well as received no promotion. They then re-vamped the album and retitled it Startin’ Over, adopting a more radio-friendly pop sound in the process and releasing a third single “Beautiful People”, which inevitably tanked like all their previous tracks.
I have been keeping track of the girls, who have been keeping their name out there with a few mixtapes, live shows, blog coverage thanks to their stylish choices in fashion, and several feature records with the likes of Major Lazer and N.O.R.E.
Maybe to get some attention they will need to go the Pitbull route, mixing some hip hop with some spanish rhythms. Throw in some dance music as well, since I look at Nina Sky as international pop artists rather than a NYC hip hop singing group.
Based on the sampler from their original sophomore album The Musical, they had some gems on that record, but lacks the appeal to get people dancing in the clubs or even buy a full album. They might be on the right track with new single 'Good Luck'. Check it out below...
