Today on Too Opinionated we sit down with LA’s rising R&B/Soul star Nicollette. Nicollette’s soulful voice harks back to the days of the great women that inspire her such as Billie Holiday and Nina Simone. Nicollette's soothing style finds its home next to Sade, Amy Winehouse and Lana Del Ray.
Nicollette released her velvety smooth Neo soul single “Broken" on Friday April 12th. “Broken” is the lead single from Nicollette’s forthcoming album release slated for Friday August 16th.
Nicollette has been surrounded by music her entire life. Both of her parents are singers; her dad was the lead singer in a hard rock band and her mom sang back up for various bands. Exposed to hard rock and metal from dad and Soul, R&B, Classical, and Funk from mom, Nicollette had a diverse musical experience growing up. Meanwhile, with her mom and grandmother, she was steeped in classic, black and white films, and period pieces. It was watching these films that led to Nicollette’s discovery of some of the artists that influenced her musical development. Through musicals and singing in choir while in school, Nicollette began developing her voice by pursuing singing professionally after high school. It was then that the writing for her debut album began. Over the next few years Nicollette’s "voice" and brand developed. Today she is working on her sophomore album and continuing to evolve and develop as an artist.
