Danielle Nicole: How You Gonna Do Me Like That...
KANSAS CITY BLUES-SOUL SINGER DANIELLE NICOLE FINDS HER GROOVE ON ANDERS OSBORNE-PRODUCED SOLO DEBUT
Ex-Trampled Under Foot singer-bassist makes Concord Records debut with August 21st release of New Orleans-flavored Wolf Den, featuring Osborne, Stanton Moore and Luther Dickinson
From the first notes of singer-bass player Danielle Nicole’s new album, Wolf Den, one truth becomes self-evident: This girl oozes groove. There’s so much funky, bluesy soul coming out of her, you wonder if her heart beats in syncopated time.
The Kansas City-raised daughter of musicians already had a solid blues foundation, but she found that groove — or new variations of it — in New Orleans, where she worked with GRAMMY®-winning producer-guitarist Anders Osborne to craft her solo debut for Concord Records, set for release on August 21st, 2015 (international release dates may vary).
Having toured the world with her brothers, Nick and Kris Schnebelen, in the sibling band Trampled Under Foot, Nicole was well aware of the Crescent City’s formidable musical mojo. She had no idea she could fall so deeply under its spell, however, until she hooked up with the perfect shaman.
“He’s through and through New Orleans, and he really threw me heavily into the culture,” says Nicole of Osborne. “There’s such a history that you can feel…such an old beauty to it. Being down there was really inspirational and it added a lot more imagery to the songs.”
You can hear and feel that Big Easy influence snaking through each of these 12 tracks, from the tasty jazz-blues licks of “It Ain’t You” to the chunky Voodoo-Chile crunch of the rocker “Didn’t Do You No Good.” The funk gets particularly delectable in “How You Gonna Do Me Like That,” “You Only Need Me When You’re Down” and “In My Dreams,” which showcase Nicole’s versatility and range with nods to gospel and girl-group pop as well. (“Take It All” shows further appreciation of that genre; it’s one more example of Nicole’s willingness to both pay homage to and build on what came before.)...
