Powerful Singer
author: Kozmicblues.net - Jon SobelImagine Taylor Dayne as a rocker. Or a more exotic, bilingual Joan Osborne. Now put all comparisons out of your mind - they're here just to give you an idea of what a powerful singer Nicola is.
Fearless
author: CollectedSounds.com - Anna Maria StjarnellVocally there's few who could hold a candle to Nicola, she is a truly fearless singer.
- author: LongIslandMusicScene.Com - Renee Grenier
A gleaming manifest of musical talent, sound stage-character and vocal seduction.
- author: Mike McHugh - New Century Productions
Real is a potential pop-rock smash!
- author: IndieMusicExplosion - Janis Tate
REAL is a much needed addition to the Indie Music Scene and to everyone's personal cd collection.
Never Seen Anything Like It!
author: Ethan Shorter - Bass Player for "Meanwhile"As a proud owner of the new CD "real", and a brand-new fan (having just discovered Nicola two nights ago here in NYC), I can honestly say that in 3 years here, I have never seen anything like it!!! Furthermore, there's no substitute for the live experience; so GET OUT THERE AND SEE THIS GIRL WHILE YOU CAN STILL GET HER IN A SMALL CLUB
TOTALLY FLOORED ME "DOWN"
author: ROGERWHEN I HEARD HER I WAS FLOORED TO HEAR SUCH POWER IN HER WORDS AND VOICE. IT WAS EXACTLY WHAT I LISTEN TO WHEN I WANT TO BE MOVED BY MUSIC. I SAW HER LIVE IN NEW YORK AND THE ENERGY KEPT WAS EVEN MORE EXCITING NOONE WAS SITTING STILL WE ALL ROCKED ALONG! SHE IS AWESOME AND I LOOK FOR HER EVERYTIME SHE WILL BE PLAYING TO GET ANOTHER FRONT ROW SEAT. KEEP IT UP LOUD !
Emotional Folk Rock
author: Doug Cornell - Hitsession.com"Real" is quite a stunner - instruments are full of impact & fully play up to Nicola's powerful voice. Nicola is a uniquely talented vocalist - she has the pipes, and her songwriting is solid.
- author: Asher P. Dudley - Songramp.com
Very Ani Difranco-ish, which is a good thing in my book.
- author: Chris K. - Pro-Critic Radio & Gods of Music
Blessed with one of the most powerful and charismatic voices this side of Ani DiFranco, Joan Osborne or Melissa Etheridge, Nicola delivers another of her power-pieces with "Down."
- author: Bruce P. Squirrel
Congratulations..."Real" is definitely a hit!
- author: "Steve Fields Picks Best Up & Coming New Artists 2 "- mp3.com
I have added "Real" to several stations and think it is Nicola's best performance yet!
THIS CD ROCKS!!!
author: MIGUELI LISTEN TO POPULAR ALTERNATIVE ROCK BANDS BUT STUMBLED ACROSS THIS BAND AND WAS FLOORED! THEIR MUSIC ROCKS AND ESPECIALLY THEIR LEAD SINGER! DEFINITELY A CD WORTH PAYING FOR BECAUSE IM SURE THEY WILL MAKE IT BIG ONE DAY! :)
