Whereas many artists create new sounds by taking two well-known sounds or styles and blending them to create something new, Nicholetter Sullivan takes such an alchemical process a whole lot deeper. She doesn’t just meld and merge a couple of familiar styles into something that she hopes the winds of fad and fashion will get behind. Instead, she takes numerous musical strands and coils them together to create whole new genres. And if you don’t believe me, give this remix of Strychnine a spin.
The building blocks may be familiar, but the finished sounds are new. Based around her sensual and seductive voice, one that harks back to the likes of Nina Simone or Ella Fitzgerald, she adds contemporary R&B beats, eerie gothic-jazz saxophones, dance grooves, and bluesy space.
It is a crossroads between what has gone before and what is yet to come, an ebb and flow of unexpected yet complimentary musical styles, a taste of what never was but which could be.
All music has to evolve, and Strychninbe is the sound of precisely that happening before our very eyes…or should that be ears?
