A most beautiful songstress, Nicole carries the torch as the new, young female voice broadening the scope of traditional jazz songs-- infusing soul, and injecting charisma, passion and heartfelt “joie de vivre." “Sensual and romantic, Nicole creates a nice, personal feel. Her vocals are beautiful and genuine, offering creative innovation" (Goldmine). Furthermore, she goes beyond delivering a song; she holds an audience in the palm of her hand. As Japan Times wrote, “Henry's energy and passion makes her one of the most impressive live performers to personalize the great American Songbook ... she tells real stories and conveys real emotions."
Her debut CD release The Nearness of You earned high reviews from Billboard, Jazz Times, Cadence Magazine, All About Jazz, L.A. Jazz Scene and many more. They lauded Nicole as a beautiful, distinctive, potent vocal thespian who could deliver a power ballad like Whitney, Patti and Diana, and who could swing with controlled abandon, interpreting a song, making it her own. Henry definitely has “a significant voice to be discovered." When the country of Japan 'discovered' Nicole, they awarded her the “Best New Jazz Artist" in 2004. Subsequently, her second CD release, Teach Me Tonight released in Asia, got voted “Best Vocal Jazz Album of 2005" in Japan. Now with this third release, Nicole gives international listeners even more artistic spirit to embrace. She soulfully swings, powerfully soars and touches the core of her listeners. This impeccably produced and arranged studio CD adds light for Nicole to shine brighter, and reach even more fans.
