Nikki Yanofsky is getting back to where it all started. Not just in her own life, as a prolific and beloved vocalist who began her career in the jazz world, but in a bigger sense, too. Her new album, Nikki by Starlight, is a modern reimagining of The Great American Songbook, packed with original arrangements and novel vocal interpretations.
Many listeners might be familiar with Yanofsky, who has worked with and received accolades from genre icons like Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, and Stevie Wonder. With this latest record, Yanofsky has created a time capsule in which she imagines how she would have recorded these standards, had she been an artist in the times in which they were originally written and shared. Ultimately, this can’t-miss release from Nikki Yanofsky is a celebration of jazz for purists and for the new generation alike.
I was randomly thinking of my childhood and when I was a little kid and hearing Nikki's "I Believe" song during the Olympics so came on her channel. Her voice is still Beautiful. I'm glad she's doing well and still making music!
OMG! Did you guys get to see the video when she was even younger and had the cutest little lisp? It breaks my heart to think that she was bullied during her childhood!
OMG! This was horrible! I can't believe that such a precious beautiful musical genius like Nikki could ever be bullied! But that just goes to show that bullying has NOTHING to do with the one being bullied! It comes from an evil place and wants to destroy what is precious! I think my heart stopped for a minute when I watched this!
LYRICS | Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas Have yourself a merry little Christmas Let your heart be light Next year all our troubles Will be out of sight Have yourself a merry little Christmas Make the yuletide gay Next year all our troubles Will be miles away Once again, as in olden days Happy golden days are yours Faithful friends who are dear to us Heaven near to us, once more Some day soon, we all will be together If the fates allow Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow So have yourself a merry little Christmas now
Une chanson française, avec d'inspiration jazz américain, avec des grands nouances du Bossa Nova brésilienne avec une chanteuse canadienne... C'est si bon!!!
So SULTRY and Seductive... French female Vocalists seem to Capture me, but NIKKI is "too Good to be True"! In fact, she's SO INCREDIBLE, it almost makes me feel Guilty! She will become properly recognized, as she is SO DESERVING, as the Programmers will Notice! Thank you for another #Treasure of an Album I'll need for my Library, too!!! Sounds so Romantic...
The backing Musicianship is SPECTACULAR... LUV the tasteful Horns, they sure are reminiscent of that Sultry 60's "Cocktail Swing Era" Sound... Well Done!
