It is with mixed emotions that Cloudbase announces a pivotal moment in its journey. After contributing immensely since 2017, Nikki bids farewell to the band. Nikki's presence has been integral, co-writing our debut album, ‘Hammerhead’, and shaping the unique electronica sound that defines Cloudbase. The profound lyrics, soulful voice, and creative energy Nikki brought to the table have left an indelible mark on our musical identity.

Nikki, who introduced Carl to the Cloudbase family in 2020, has decided to step back from the band, citing personal reasons. In her own words, "The decision to retire was an ongoing struggle since moving to Wales. With time, it became apparent that I needed to leave for the band to move forward." Despite parting ways, Nikki expresses gratitude for the enriching experiences and lasting friendships forged during her time with Cloudbase.
The band extends heartfelt wishes to Nikki for her future endeavours. While she embarks on new adventures, Nikki will always be a cherished friend and an integral part of our journey. The band acknowledges the significant contributions she made to our musical legacy and looks forward to her continued involvement in any capacity she desires.
As one chapter closes, another begins with the exciting addition of Sue Cuthbert to the Cloudbase family. Bringing a wealth of experience from a distinguished career in the music industry, Sue steps into the role of co-songwriter and assumes the position of lead vocalist for recordings and live performances. In stepping into the heartbeat of Cloudbase, Sue shares her excitement for the journey ahead, “Joining this dynamic ensemble is a thrilling chapter in my musical career. The creative synergy within Cloudbase is palpable, and I am honoured to contribute my voice and vision to their evolving sound. As we embark on this new adventure, I can't wait to share our collective passion with the world and create moments that resonate with audiences far and wide”.

Original band members, Andy and Ken, express gratitude for the wonderful journey with Nikki, highlighting the evolution from their first meeting in a small studio to the release of ‘Hammerhead’ in 2020. On Sue's arrival, they remark, "Sue has joined the band with great enthusiasm, and the conclusion of our second album is on the horizon – the Cloudbase vibe will continue!"
In an exciting development, Cloudbase is proud to announce the release of their new single, 'Caught Fire’. This electrifying track showcases the seamless collaboration between the established members and Sue Cuthbert, ushering in a new era for Cloudbase. 'Caught Fire' will soon be available on all major streaming platforms, and the band looks forward to sharing this dynamic addition to their discography with fans worldwide.
In closing, the revamped Cloudbase lineup ensures that Nikki's legacy endures. The door remains open for her to collaborate in any capacity she wishes, whenever she desires. As we bid a fond farewell to one era, we eagerly embrace the new musical adventures that lie ahead with Sue Cuthbert.
