Synopsis

Album Description
Sixteen-year-old Nikki Yanofsky is poised to break out as one of the year's most-exciting new artists with her self-titled CD Nikki. The press has hailed Yanofsky as a "young Ella Fitzgerald"--from jazz to originals, she is among the most unique vocalists in recent time. She has been captivating audiences from jazz festivals around the world and most recently appeared at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Her song "I Believe" has sold 4x platinum in Canada, garnering the highest first week of any Canadian artist in Soundscan history. Nikki is produced by 15-time Grammy®-winning producer Phil Ramone and Grammy® winning songwriter / producer Jesse Harris (best known for his work on Norah Jones' Come Away With Me). "For Another Day" is the focus track and will be worked at AAA radio in the coming months. PBS pledge show Live From Montreal will begin airing in all major markets in May 2010.

CD Reviews

Great New CD
G Jones | Roseville, CA USA | 05/06/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"While listening to this CD this afternoon, at times I had to remind myself that Nikki is only 16 years old. Occasionally, her voice betrays her in that it sometimes lacks the timbre or range that will come naturally in the next few years. However, her musicianship is superb and she brings a unique touch to this great collection of jazz standards. Her orchestra and band are top notch. This is one of those rare debut albums that 20 years from now will be the foundation of what I expect will be a stellar discography. I really look forward to listening to her voice mature and musicianship develop in the coming years, we're all in for a real treat."

"I first heard Nikki on the PBS program, from the top. I was blown away by her enthusiasm & talent. I bought her Ella, of thee I swing. I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, I am not impressed with the production values of this album. I'm not sure who her producer is, but I think they missed the mark. Nikki, please buy live at blues alley by Eva Cassidy. To your own self be true. You will understand once you hear Eva, who is sadly, no longer with us."
A Very talented young lady

"I was never a jazz person but since great artists like Brian Setzer and Nikki Yanofsky, i'm slowly turning.



This girl has a fantastic voice and her songs are very upbeat. Her band sounds great and even her mellow music is good because it really showcases her beautiful voice.



This young lady has a fine future. She is highly talented and i can't wait for her next CD. This one is only $7.99 and a steal for that price.



But there is one bad thing about this album. 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow'. I am so sick of that song.
