## Description

Product description          Sheila Nicholls ~ Wake             .com          Soulful singer and classically trained pianist Sheila Nicholls expands her scope with her sophomore release, branching out from the sparse Ani DiFranco-like piano-and-guitar arrangements found on her 1999 debut, Brief Stop. The R&B-flavored "Bread and Water" and "Come to Me" boast sultry trip-hop beats and slinky chords, while "Ruby" is an ebullient character sketch ornamented with bluesy guitar licks and a flamenco flair and "Seven Fat Englishman" has the feel of a campfire folktale. Production assistance is provided by sweeping-ballad Svengali Glen Ballard on five tracks, but Nicholls's dynamism sounds polished and fleshed-out without coming across as sappy. Add to the involving music such insightful turns of phrase as "As the Spice Girls prostitute girl power in the background on tinny speakers, you smile in desperation" and you have an evocative album that provides a new gem with every listen. --Annie Zaleski

    A staple in my music collection
  

*by E***D on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2008*

I first heard Sheila Nicholls at a house concert in 1999.  I bought her first album, Brief Strop, at that time.  Years later, I was excited to find out she had another album, Wake.If you are familiar with Sheila's first album, then you will be pleased to know that her emotional presentation comes through on her second album as well.  However, it is augmented by new instrumentation, effects, and some electronic rhythm.The first track, How Strong, is my favourite on the album.  It is inspiring, personal, and also widely applicable.  This album helped me feel strong during times when I needed to.  Thanks, Sheila.Ruby is another favourite, since I heard it live, but it didn't appear on Brief Strop.  The hidden gem is a secret track at the end of the CD, which I swear I heard live as well.  I don't know the title, but it is more remeniscent of the style of Brief Strop and the lyrics are absolutely superb.Although I still love Brief Strop more than Wake, it has become a staple in my collection, and is often heard playing at loud volumes in my little blue pick-up truck on the tropical island of Hawaii.

    Why isn't she more famous?
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2005*

Do yourself a favor - discover her now.  This album is the kind of album you play once and say, "huh, I liked that."  You play a couple more times, and you start to recognize some phrasing and lyrics and say, "wow, I really like this."  Then, finally, after playing it scores of times and telling all your friends about it, you say, "why isn't she more famous?!"Her voice is smooth and yet she can use it to be edgy without being grating.  Her songwriting is true and honest and different, and her lyrical skills in particular are really worth paying attention to.  By far one of the best of the new singer-songwriter class - I love her almost as much as I love Nellie McKay.

    I am so glad that I discovered Sheila Nicholls

I am so glad that I discovered Sheila Nicholls. She has met with some success around the world, but she is still a undiscovered gem and that can be a good thing.
