O’s Notes: Nicole is an actress, singer and performer. This is her third album as a leader. She focuses on love tunes from the American songbooks. She has a team of strong musicians behind her including pianist Mike Orta and drummer Orlando Hernandez. Nicole’s voice and tone are good on these twelve ballads. “That’s All”, “Now That I Found You” and the fresh arrangement of “What’ll I Do” highlight them. She sounds like a Vegas show star but has carved out her vocal signature and puts it one each of the tunes. The thought of Nicole injecting true emotion into originals could take her to the stratosphere.
