As soon as you listen to the first album notes, you will feel you are driven to those luxury clubs of the period between wars or the years after World War II, where a sensual sultry diva performed with passion and elegance both jazz standards and sophisticated blues with an undeniable swing, always under dim lights, glasses of champagne and cigarette smoke the audience used to profusely drink and smoke.

Mercedes Nicole is the artist who introduces us to that sophisticated environment, often reflected in those memorable forties ‘film noir’ movies, thanks to her suggestive voice, sometimes vulnerable but always subtle, full of good taste and sensitivity.

Ten songs that show all the nuances Mercedes is able to give to her performances, also backed by a group of very professional jazz musicians who know how to give the right groove to let Mercedes Nicole fell comfortable in each song, like Duke Ellington’s “Ain’t Got Nothing But The Blues”, T-Bone Walker’s “Stormy Monday Blues” or “The Thrill Is Gone” to name only three of the most popular ones well known by most listeners.
