Would like you to take a listen to one of thre new songs I just uploaded. They feature guest vocals by Rachel Mortimore and Denny. Please tell me what you think.
Thank you very much for the add . :))) You are one of the VERY few artists that I am actually proud to say that I'm a fan of , a term that I do not use lightly . I miss the days of Mandalay , but I am very much looking forward to more to come from your solo ventures . :))) Namaste . The Gift .
I was just listening to passive aggressive and thought I'd send you a little message. You're one of my top favorite vocalists and I eagerly await new material from you. Have a great day..
Hey Nicola! How are you! I hope everything is going well with your new music and all. If there is ever anything I can do for you, you can always let me know! Best wishes and HAPPY 2008 (seems like just yesterday we were wishing each other a happy 2007 over your message board! Wow!)... Take heart!
hey nicola, seems like ages since I've written you a message! So just thought I'd drop one and say still listening to and in love with your music. Fills me with happiness and joy each time I hear it. Hope the new album's coming along well, can't wait to hear it.
Just noticed you put the bays in your top friends too. Amaaaaazing act, no? Saw them live last year and they were one of the only acts I've seen where I couldn't believe what I was seeing/hearing. Check out their work on younger brother's new album too, the last days of gravity. For me it was the best album of last year, never heard anything quite like it. You can hear some of the tracks on: www. myspace. com/youngerbrothertwisted . I think you should also get in touch with simon and benji from YB and do a track or two with them, they are ridiculously talented producers and you three could work absolute wonders together! ;-) Anyway, that's about I guess. Take care and hope to hear more from you soon, Chris xxx
