Mexican/Salvadoran-American singer-songwriter Niko Rubio has a unique, ethereal sound that is truly her own, and she's an artist you want to have on your radar. Her new single, “Five Star,” is a preview of what's to come this year. "'Five Star' is different from any of my other songs because it’s fearlessly sexy! This is my going out/top model/angel energy. I wrote this song right after I stopped talking to a loserrrrrrrrr and needed hot girl energy in the studio and in my life again. It’s cheeky and honest and full of glamour," she exclusively told HOLA!.
