People have been underestimating Nicky Love her entire life-limiting her,
dismissing her, stereotyping her: pretty woman, chick singer, party girl,
and model. She knows the label's and she knows how they obscure the person
behind them. She knows how they prevent people from understanding the very
real struggles she's gone through.
Nicky Love is a strong and resourceful woman who has emerged triumphantly
from all the challenges that have faced her in her life. Her debut album
"Honeyvision" is a statement of purpose. "It's about being your-self after
years of pretending to be someone else," she says. "I was lost for quite a
few years, in one way or another and "Honeyvision" is about finding your way
back, I guess. This album was a way of saying," look, this is me; this is
who I have been all this time." It took me a long time to have enough
confidence to pursue my dream, which was to make an album that was truly me
and that I was truly proud of."
Nicky was signed to DreamWorks' records by music legend Robbie Robertson,
who then teamed her with producer Marius De Vries, whose credits include
Bjork, PJ Harvey, Annie Lennox, Massive attack and Madonna. De Vries was
also the musical director for the movie "Moulin Rouge".
Nicky and DreamWorks parted company in late 2001. She was then asked to be
guest vocalist for trip-hop legend "Tricky". Nicky had always been inspired
by the music of "Tricky" and agreed to go on tour with him. They performed
in numerous cities all over the U.S, Canada and Europe. "That was another
dream fulfilled," she says.
Nicky Love has plainly and finally-reached the place she illuminates on the
track "Daylight Tripping," where she sings, "I'm exposed, but I'm not
afraid."
