Liverpool Olympia welcomed local artist Ni Maxine to the venue to film the music video for her latest release, ‘Time.’

Award-winning Liverpool-based neo-jazz star Ni Maxine drops her latest single, ‘Time’ via Ripe Records. Recently crowned Breakthrough Act of the Year at the Jazz FM Awards 2025 alongside pioneers Ezra Collective, Jalen N’Gonda and corto.alto, Maxine continues to wow listeners with her soulful and catchy beats.

 

Writing of her latest offering on her blog, Ni Maxine said:

The whole idea of the song is dismantling the concept of ‘Time’ which keeps us all in what sometimes feels like a chokehold. It came from the concept of the ‘Strong Black Woman’ which forced me to confront what it means to be a Black woman, existing in the 21st century and intertwined with the legacy of slavery and colonialism… I realised that I had been suppressing my feelings for most of my life, carrying loads of trauma and emotional baggage which I’d never had an opportunity to offload and still having to show up and work hard to prove my worth.

Wherever she ends up taking us next, Ni Maxine has the full support of all at Olympia, and is, of course, welcome back any time – a real pleasure to spend the day with!
