   About Nicole Berke
Click below to order the "Frondescence" EP on CDBaby.com:

NICOLE BERKE: Frondescence

Click to buy "Frondescence" on iTunes:

"Nicole Berke is a breath of fresh air. Writing songs with a level of virtuosity comparable to Ben Folds, Nicole Berke exudes a warmth and vulnerability to buoy her lyric and multi-timbered voice. [She] has a talent in offering up songs that touch on a familiar part of your consciousness and make you feel right at home."
~Wildy's World reviews

"We’re glad Nicole Berke didn’t wait to record a full length CD because her debut EP release is a fabulous enough sample to help us all fall in love with her straight away. Nicole’s soulfully strong vocal skills combined with her clever songwriting talent certainly makes her one Mass’ up & coming artists to watch out for."
~ TC Krentz, Boston Girl Guide

"Nicole Berke’s songs are the right length and offer a good mix of jazz-pop with a singer/songwriter filter; they will satisfy nearly anyone who listens. It’s enough to make one want more and to distinguish Berke as a musician to watch – a distinction she has had in the Boston area for some time, and with good reason."
~Benjamin Ray, The Daily Vault

""Spot-on, rich, soulful vocals... wonderful, creative piano playing... and such brilliant songs. [Nicole] blends different stylistic elements in such a unique brew - quite fearless."
~Jeff Gaynor, songwriter/musician

"Nicole Berke is a rising star on the international music scene with her unique blend of pop and jazz elements. Her sound is extremely polished and professional and a real credit to such a young artist."
~Karen Waters, Black Label Reviews

Hey! So the fact that you were form Cambridge caught my eye cause I live there, and I checked out your stuff. It's really good. Why on earth aren't you signed? Hopefully I'll be able to catch a local show or something.

haha ur ready?!!! ok lets go.
KEEP emailing people, the EP really does sound super so keep doing stuff!
and a little tidbit.
we may not be totally happy with the euro release stuff so we may be not doing it in march which means lots of touring in america, which MEANS i can get up to Boston and we can finish that song, ive been working on some lyrics:)

Nicole~
"Frondescence" is so reminiscent of Laura Nyro's "Eli and the Thirteenth Confession". Could be the best five-spot I've spent all year. Write more! Hope to catch you at Toad on the 24th.
Peace,
Spang

a world run by machine ,
mans lost his soul
the gods of technology
have taken control

a world run by machine,
a silicone brain
the newest tools rule,
saying man's gone insane

it's the sum of all fears
what we carry inside
that one day real soon
that the whole world
will die

now the oceans are sulfur ,
the mountains are dust
and all of the people
are starting to rust
