Background

In December 2019, Niki and Gabi announced a hiatus to focus on their solo projects. [2] Later, DeMartino revealed that she had signed with Roc Nation for music management and that she was working on her debut studio album. [3] On September 1, 2020, DeMartino released her single "Champagne Dreams", which was originally intended to be the lead single of the album. The song was later scrapped from the album due to DeMartino’s decision to re-work on the album. In October 2020, she released the album's official lead single "Pretty Little Mind". [4]

Paintings of Me was originally titled Beautiful Mess, [5] and was initially created as a Niki and Gabi album, but Niki ultimately decided not to participate, as the album did not align with her style. [6] One of the intended lead singles by the duo, "Hair Tie", was released in August 2019 as part of the scrapped project. [7]

In June 2023, DeMartino revealed that Paintings of Me was accidental and was formed due to her constantly writing new material. [8]

Promotion

To promote the album, DeMartino performed at Musikfest a couple of times. In 2020, she performed "Champagne Dreams" and "Not Today" virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [9] [10] The following year, she opened for German musician Zedd at the same festival and performed several songs from her album. [11]

Singles

The lead single "Pretty Little Mind" was released on October 9, 2020. It's an electro-pop song that features elements of EDM. [12] "Not Today" was released on August 13, 2021, the same day she performed at Musikfest. [13] Later on October 27, she released the third single "Immaculate" in which she described as a cancel culture anthem. [14] The fourth and final single "Broken Morning", a pop-ballad song, was released March 25, 2022. [15]
