R&B singer Nija has co-written songs for Beyonce, Cardi B, Lady Gaga, and more, and now she released her own debut album, Don't Say I Didn't Warn You. "There’s a stigma against songwriters turning into artists because usually they give all their sauce away," Nija said in a statement. "But I’ve always made sure I went above and beyond people’s expectations, so don’t say I didn’t warn you about that." It does indeed sound pretty great.
