Singer Mercedes Nicole released her debut album “Constellation” in 2022, which reached number 12 on the Rocks Music Chart in addition receiving air-play on radio stations in France, Brazil, Hawaii, United Kingdom, South Africa, Netherlands, Spain, Germany, Canada, Switzerland and of course USA. Since then, her fame has not stopped growing. With this new recording, Mercedes also wants to make herself known internationally, after she has already become popular in Western Washington.
Mercedes Nicole’s principal performing feature is to bring her music to all those people who are seeking comfort, joy, love and healing of the heart. In her own words, “life is full of detours and adventure. It is no secret that music softens the rough paths and helps us get to the other side, where fun, laughter and joy reside. Let’s play in the rhythm of life together.”
To do so, Mercedes Nicole displays in this new recording a repertoire of thirteen songs ranging from blues to soft jazz, swing or ballads, seven of them Nicole’s own compositions and the rest versions like “Feel Like Rain” by J. Hiatt, “Smokestack Lightning” by Howlin’ Wolf or “The Sky Is Crying” by Elmore James.
All the album songs stand out for their elegance and versatility, as well as communicating an intimate relaxed feeling and happiness, developed with an extreme good taste by Mercedes’ wrapping full of nuance voice, well supported by musicians gifted with a remarkable technique like Rood Cook on guitar, Jake Sele on piano and organ, Alexey Nikolaev on tenor sax, Stacy Jones on harmonica, Scotty Harris on bass, Andrew Cloutiere on drums and Tommy Warren on backing vocals. All of them have perfectly understood the message of joy, love, happiness and hope Nicole wants to spread, always present in an album that tastefully brings these feelings to all listeners.
