Artists:Nina Storey

This new album from Nina Storey is funky, sophisticated, intimate and revealing.

Staying true to form, the record is eclectic Nina. As Nina puts it, “There is a cohesiveness to this album in that we pretty much just camped out in this cool analog studio and played all these different instruments. My co-producer on the project, Rob Giles, an amazing talent in his own right, played like 85 percent of the instruments. We have some incredible musicians, engineers and artists on the record--great horn players, guitar players, singers, and they bring a lot to my new sound.

We have musicians who've played with Etta James, Tower of Power, Michelle N'Degeo'cello and Elton John, and also I'm proud and pleased to say that Keb Mo' played on two of the tracks."

Nina says there is an organic feel to this record. Some of the tunes have an old school Motown vibe to them, and some a more gospel, rootsy feel, while others are really out of the box funky and weird.

Part of this included utilizing all kinds of instruments from violas, to trumpets, to Hammond B3 organs to pots and pans to foot stomping.

Nina believes this is also the most emotionally intimate record she’s ever done as well. “There was lots of inspiration and perspiration during this whole process. It's a long play record meaning, it's meant to be listened to from start to finish.”

There's an evolution that takes place as well as a musical journey. Much of this record is about the process of discovering one's self and the journey we all take when we embark upon a relationship. From the beginning of bliss, to the celebration of love, to the realization of things not working out, to the bitter end, or to the realization that love can be saved. Nina explores all of these experiences in her new body of music.

Nina’s songs have been featured in both film and television. Her song, “Better Man” was featured on the Fox hit show, “Standoff” in July. Her music has also been featured in ABC’s, “Alias”, Sony Pictures feature film, “Broken Hearts Club” and the CW (formerly the WB) Network’s, “Girlfriends”. Nina was also featured on The Travel Channel for the program, “Trista and Ryan’s Honeymoon Hotspots.”
