Jodie Nicholson

Ethereal prog-pop. It doesn’t get any happier from here. _____ Brought up on the likes of Pink Floyd, Marillion and Tori Amos, soft rock elements of soaring melodies, powerful lyricism and intuitive song structure formed the basis of Nicholson’s journey to songwriting. Carving her own sonic identity as one of the UK’s most exciting emerging prog-pop artists, self-producer, vocalist and songwriter, Jodie Nicholson, balances tender minimalism and melancholy with hypnotic refrains and blooming, euphoric crescendos. From indie-folk inspirations of Daughter, Lucy Rose, Matt Corby and Warpaint to the synth-heavy world of TEED, Nicholson uses introspective lyricism, brooding piano, subtle electronics, delicate guitars and weighty drum grooves to create powerfully intimate, stunning music. Praised for captivating live performances and walls of tightly-knit harmonies (in what she likes to call ‘vocal landscaping’), Nicholson’s reed-like vocals remain the compelling constant to an ever-evolving sound. “Don’t think of Safe Hands as an indie folk or alt-pop album; think of it as a human record” – Atwood Magazine “A perfect dramatic convergence of cinematic depth and emotive pop” – Paul Bridgewater (The Line of Best Fit x Glastonbury ETC) “Jodie’s vocals engulf you in an intimate and warm embrace… stunning” – Record of the Day “An incredibly interesting artist… she’s not your average singer-songwriter” – Jess Iszatt (BBC Radio 1) www.jodienicholsonmusic.com
