Singer-Songwriter Sheila Nicholls

7/19/10 UPDATE: We are working to reschedule the interview with Sheila, should be in early to mid August, stay tuned! In the meantime, check out this fantastic in-depth feature on Sheila over on the amazing site KGRL.

It’s always interesting to hear what sort of music an artist comes out with after they’ve been with a label and decide to go independent.  Whether it’s very different or essentially the same, you know it’s definitely the artist’s true vision.

It’s also always interesting to hear what sort of music an artist comes out with after having a child.  Such a profoundly life-changing experience is bound to change your artistic expression as well.

I admit to not knowing Sheila Nicholls’ music before either of these events that happened in her life, but I do know I like what I hear now! Ranging from acoustic to alternative to trip hop, Sheila’s style is grooving and twinkling by turns, her versatile voice sliding easily up the scale and dropping into a gritty growl. With song after multi-textured and rich song, Sheila is one of those artists so easy to put on repeat!

But don’t take my word for it, here are two of her new tracks available to stream or download:

Lovely interview about music, songwriting, being an artist and behind the name of the album:
