Sleep Deprived Music Review: Nicotine

Nicotine’s EP, An Open Letter, is something really special – a powerful mix of spoken word, R & B and jazz.

It reminds me of what it is like to be young and single and all of the drama that comes with it. I’m not saying it is exactly like Beyonce’s “Lemonade” but it has similar elements. It’s not for me to say that it’s better . . .

Nicotine is originally from Texas but is currently based in New York. She was scheduled to play at SXSW this year but it was canceled.

There are some explicit lyrics. Maybe don’t play it in the car with the kids. I will be playing it in between picking up and dropping off the kids. My car radio is on the fritz so it’s gonna be “Bantu Knots and Boudain” all day when the kids are away.
