The Milton Keyes born and raised. Vocalist has the versatility to fit any vibe while
not compromising her signature sound. Although best known for her Garage hits
with Zed Bias in the early 2000s, Nicky was performing and recording with
various acts well before the height of Garage's popularity. She started her career
singing in Soul and Funk bands, and over the last two decades has lent her voice
to Electro, Hip-Hop, Drum &amp; Bass, House, and Ska tracks.
In 2009 Nicky graced listeners with her debut solo EP "See What You Mean."
Within only five tracks the singer-songwriter displays impressive range, from the
up- tempo, energetic funk of "I'm Hearing You" to a bluesy rendition of Nina
Simone's "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," to the hushed tones of the EP's sole
acoustic number, "Balancing Scales." She is backed on this effort by her band
Soul Selecta, which includes renowned UK session players Dave Baldwin on
Hammond organ and Robert 'Skins' Anderson on drums/percussion. Sadly, the
release was criminally slept-on.
While "See What You Mean" was available on streaming services and CD, the EP
never received the vinyl treatment. So, rather than simply reissuing the project,
Nicky has teamed with KU to offer what she calls a "reincarnation" of her debut on
wax.
Now retitled Listen Up, this underrated affair has had new life breathed into it. To
bring out the best in the original recordings, each song has been meticulously
remastered by Christian Obermayer at Strype Audio. Then to fill out the 12", Nicky
has added a handful of unreleased songs, including a heavy groove cover of
Michael Jackson's "I Can't Help It," which sees her reconnect with Zed Bias; a
punchy, funked up tune titled "Listen Up;" and the original version of "Balancing
Scales" that reveals what the track sounded like before it was stripped down to
just guitar and vocals. This offering perfectly captures Nicky's distinct tastes and
inspirations. Further, it fills a hole in your record collection that you didn't know
was there until now.
