Album Review: Danni Nicholls – 'The Melted Morning'

Danni Nicholls
THE MELTED MORNING
Self-released
*****
“An incredibly well-crafted album with depth and originality for each composition”
Danni Nicholls is renowned for her grace and elegance in music and ‘The Melted Morning’ epitomises this beautiful style on a whole new level. An incredibly well-crafted album with depth and originality for each composition, Nicholls is delicate in delivery but fierce in spirit.
Her vocals are similar to the talents of k.d. lang and Linda Ronstadt – equally gorgeous artists that provide poetry behind their buoyant vocals. With her echoing voice whimsically moving around each track, her imagery remains firmly planted within the world of Americana while also providing profundity in her outlook on love, fear and the power of human connection.
Nicholls has written a stunning piece of work that does a remarkable job of merging light with dark. From a soothing but upbeat performance in Losing It to a passionate and poignant rendition in Unwanted, Nicholls captures the classic trope of country music by exposing real-life experiences and the complexities of human emotion and makes it into something wonderfully timeless. A really stunning piece of musical work – Danni Nicholls is an artist full of soul and wisdom.
