Song: What's Left Artist: Late July Love, sadness, depression, happiness, etc - these feeling have always existed in music and art and always will. I'm confident stating that every single song ever written, no matter how complex and guarded, stems from one of those four feeling listed above. Maybe that's a "duh" moment for you. Whatever. What I'm trying to say is a lot of artists try to separate themselves from those feelings because "it's all been done before" and that's fine. That's totally fine. For all the complexity and uniqueness [...]

The music fans of this generation have impeccable taste, The upsurge of musical talents makes me every bit the happy aficionado and the same should go for you too. For June, here [...]

Listening to her slinky, sultry voice, it's difficult to believe that Nicole Simone hasn't been snatched up by a major label yet. But this immense talent is unsigned and truly independent. I'd originally intended to include this song in one of my "Mp3 Menagerie" posts, but it's great enough to warrant its own entry. I haven't heard Nicole's entire self-titled, self-produced EP yet, but - if "Melt" is any indication - this girl is going to be a huge star. Nicole Simone - Melt Away [...]

Als Verfechterin einer umfassenden Reform unseres Schulsystems im Allgemeinen und als "Züchterin akademischen Proletariats" im Besonderen werfe ich immer gerne einen Blick auf die Bildungslandschaft, auch über die Landesgrenzen hinweg, und so bleibt mir nicht verborgen, was sich in den dortigen Bildungs-Zuchtbetrieben bewegt.

jazz // noir // lust Is to give your heart or have it taken all of life? Nothing else seems relevant in Nicole Simone 's music, and that's something I can relate to. She loves me, she loves me not - a field of daisies ravaged by uncertainty. Her sultry persuasion can caress or carve out a heart with paralyzing euphoria and inflict stoic men with boyish war. A silky smooth trumpet coats one's will, the gentle bass thump removes your armor, as marxophone, guitar and piano [...]

LA's Nicole Simone will be releasing her self titled Debut EP March 9th on Crystal Ship Music . They sent her EP our way and I am loving it! Her music is sultry cabaret sounding music that would totally fit in a David Lynch movie. She writes all her music with that nostalgia of classic movies in mind. As she performs in front of red velvet curtains you are transported to another place and time somewhere in the 20's or 30's. She's got some famous friends too. The amazing Jason [...]

Whispery, slinky vocals and music inspired by sexpots and heavy hitters in blues and jazz of yore, Nicole Simone and her whopping band temporarily transformed Chessvolt Studios into the set of a Tim Burton flick. Here's her tune, Wedding, a breathy, lamenting tale of how the apple of her eye has shattered her dreams by marrying another. An enthralling curve ball for Luxury Wafers listeners. Stay tuned for more!
