Announcing DANIELLE NICOLE at Mojo's!

Danielle embarked on her solo career with Wolf Den
(2015), which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Blues charts and has amassed 12.5
million Spotify streams. Cry No More (2018) followed, the record was nominated
for a Grammy in the contemporary blues category and debuted at number one in
the Billboard Blues Charts – it also boasts over Spotify streams in excess of 12
million.
Nicole has been inducted into the Kansas Music Hall of Fame and has been the
recipient of seven Blues Music Awards. She recently did a duet with Albert
Castiglia on the song “All Our Past Times”, also released a feature with Dion on the
upcoming song "I Aim To Please," and recorded the opening track in the
forthcoming Peter Hutchings film "Which Brings Me To You.”
There has been no shortage of praise; Guitar World stated, "Danielle Nicole has
won respect and admiration throughout the American blues scene for her soulful,
inventive playing and tireless work ethic." Blues Music Magazine effused, "Nicole
brings it, bakes it, and serves it up blazing on a silver soul- rocking player." The
Kansas City Star declared, "Blues and soul vocalists tend to improve as they age.
Bettye LaVette is among the artists who became increasingly believable as she
matured. Danielle Nicole appears to be following in her footsteps." And the
legendary Koko Taylor gets right to the point: "That girl gets down to the nitty
gritty!" -
At the beginning of the The Love You Bleed recording sessions; Danielle Nicole
knew this new album would be different from those in the past. "Maybe that's
because over half the songs are about falling in love and not falling through the
destruction of it," she says. The album is full of love, loss, will, determination, and
all the other things that go together with love. "Make Love" is about consciously
pushing past the pain, choosing love, family, and community in life's difficult
moments. It uplinks the message of love and togetherness in the face of hardship."
"How Did We Get to Goodbye" with its raw and honest lyrics, document a soured
love that bears no hero or villain, asking how you get to such a place of disrepair
without even knowing it. And Love On My Brain, is a potent hybrid of vintage R&B
and driving blues, begins as a flirty feeling inside and turns to an overpowering
need and deep desire. Right By Your Side is a vintage soul/R&B ballad about never
making the mistake of watching "the one" walk away again.
The Love You Bleed gives Nicole a solid place that music has always provided in
dealing with love and loss. "It's been a difficult relationship listening to music
outside of professional reasons since the passing of my brother Kris," she says.
"But just being honest in my writing and direction, I find when I'm the truest to
myself, that's when the magic happens. Not trying to find perfection in it so much,
but engulfing myself in every moment and being there with the audience is when
fun things can happen inside and out." Many of those feelings are captured in all
the songs on the album.
There is a powerful sense of self in The Love You Bleed, taking the new songs to
the place Nicole envisioned they could go. "I want to consciously move forward in
the natural evolution of my songwritng and singing," she says. And as I grow as a
person, a woman, a mother.”
