Nikki recorded the Ella Fitzgerald classic "Airmail Special" for Verve Records and it was released in June 2007 on the album We All Love Ella: Celebrating the First Lady of Song. Produced by Tommy LiPuma, this track made Yanofsky the youngest singer ever to record for Verve.
In September 2008, Yanofsky released her first full-length album, a live CD/DVD concert package entitled "Ella... Of Thee I Swing". Supported by her production company, A440 Entertainment and distributed in Canada and Japan by Universal Music, it garnered critical acclaim and earned her two Juno Award nominations in 2009: 'New Artist of the Year' and 'Vocal Jazz Album of the Year'. She also won 'Favourite Jazz Artist' at the 2009 Canadian Independent Music Awards.
Songwriters Stephan Moccio and Alan Frew chose Yanofsky to sing CTV’s broadcast theme for the 2010 Winter Olympics, "I Believe.” The Song reached number one on the Canadian Hot 100 on the week of February 27, 2010. This made her the first Canadian artist to have a number one song on that chart since "Girlfriend" by Avril Lavigne topped the chart in 2007. The song was certified “Quadruple Platinum” for digital downloads in April 2010.
Nikki recorded her first studio album, Nikki, with 14-time Grammy Award-winning producer Phil Ramone. Along with the album-release of "I Believe", it includes some of Yanofsky’s first original works—writing in collaboration with Jesse Harris (of Norah Jones fame) as well as fellow Canadian songwriters Ron Sexsmith and Feist. It was released in April 2010 by Decca Records and was supported by an international tour. Nikki earned a Juno nomination for "Vocal Jazz Album of the Year", and won the WAVE Smooth Jazz Award for "Female Vocalist of the Year."
Nikki has performed internationally at jazz festivals and major concert venues both solo and alongside such well-known artists as Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Wyclef Jean, Celine Dion, The late Marvin Hamlisch and The Count Basie Orchestra.
In 2008, Yanofsky received the Outstanding Youth in Philanthropy award from the Quebec Chapter of The Association of Fundraising Professionals. Over her career, she has helped raise over $10 Million for local, national and international charities. She is currently associated with The Montreal Children’s Hospital, The Children’s Wish Foundation and MusiCounts.

Nikki Yanofsky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When I walk in a room (when I walk in a room)
Nothing you've read in magazines darlin;,
So let me tell you the news (let me tell you the news)
Hey have you heard theres a new sensation
Extra, extra, I'm comin' to you.

Hey let me show you what I want to roll to,
If you kick it old school I can be your something new,
I can be your something new
I gotta treat for ya,
Something to make you smile (make you smile)
It needs a little bit of heat baby,
Let it simmer awhile, (simmer awhile)
Oh have you heard I'm sweeping the nation
Extra extra, I'm talkin to you
I know you want it, you know it's true
The beat is boppin', it's movin you
Your toes are tappin, down in your shoes

The lyrics of Nikki Yanofsky's "Something New" seem to be a declaration of the artist's individuality and potential, coming across as an invitation to the listener to join her in a fresh experience. The verses talk about how the artist is different from anything the listener may have seen before, with a new sensation, and that she wants to introduce something exciting to make them happy, even though it requires some simmering. The chorus is a catchy, upbeat repetition of how the listener's body is reacting to the music, and how the artist wants to show them a new, different way to dance; If the listener kicks it old school, she can be their "something new."
