About Me |
|
| "Passive Aggressive" is Nicola's first release on her own label Tempted Records - to hear audio samples visit http://www.nicolahitchcock.com and clidk on audio/videoor go to http://music.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?EAN=63447 9134074Personally autographed copies of the new album are available via her website www.nicolahitchcock.com To email Nicola direct use info@nicolahitchcock.com rather than messaging here - if you want answers to specific questiona and (possibly) a less slow response! Thanks."Passive Aggressive" is also available via Amazon, CD Baby, HMV and all good stores etc., and downloadable versions of the songs are available at iTunes. The album comprises a collection of mostly collaborative tracks written and recorded over the past three years.." .... Plaintive, melancholy and full of feeling; Nicola's songs have an honesty that you can feel in her voice even before you hear it in the words. The singing here is soft, close up, often little more than a whisper. The uncluttered arrangements on this CD add to the intimacy, at times just drums, bass and minimal pianos or electronica. The more intense musical structure of 'I Forgive Me' combines with sweet vocals to create a sense of brooding, a weight that carries over into the following track 'Cloudy Skies and Rain' where the drums are stronger and looser than most of the album. There is a beautiful surreal quality to the final track 'Morning' featuring Ryuichi Sakomoto's sparse piano playing, enhanced by an exquisitely emotive string arrangement from Hector Zazou ....".. the songs were written and recorded over the past 3 years following the break up the duo Mandalay (V2 Records), of which she was one-half.Mandalay released 3 albums "empathy" and "instinct" follwed by a double album "solace" released exclusively in the US. Madonna namechecked Mandalay as her favourite band and included the song "this life" on "the next best thing" soundtrack. Canny's remix of Mandalay's "Beautiful" featured on Cafe del Mar's volume 6 won the band many fans, particularly in the US and was also the soundtrack to a major TV advertising campaign for Estee Lauder. More recently Sarah Brightman recorded her own version of "Beautiful" as part of her album "Harem".Nicola's music has been described as "electronic torch songs", "all modern and emotional" and "modern classical" .. amongst others ...An exclusive edition of Passive Aggressive was released in the US by Barnes & Noble and included two previously unreleased tracks (currently available as free downloads via her website to those on the mailing list).Nicola is currently working on a new solo album - her debut solo album "a bowl of chalk", released in 1993 on F-Beat/Demon Records, featured legendary bass player Danny Thompson (Everything But The Girl, Richard Thompson) and drummer Neil Conti (Prefab Sprout).Visit www.nicolahitchcock.com for further information, free access to exclusive downloads and more ... | |
