Album Review: Jemma Nicole - My Darkest Hour

Jemma Nicole's country noir album kicks off with the seductive tango of Too Late To Save My Soul.

Simple percussion and piercing violin back Nicole's vocals and Americana twang occupies the following track Only A Man. Guilty And Free plays out like an early Stones song, complete with a catchy organ line. Nicole's voice is passionate and alluring, but also embraces vulnerability. The Killing Of Me is a morose track, with Nicole reaching difficult high notes. Dance With The Devil is a delightfully twisted opus, with a descending piano line jumping throughout. Nicole breathes life into country music like you've never heard before.
