Nicki Jaine
Of Pigeons and Other Curiosities
With a clear shushy voice reminiscent of Lotte Lenya and her dancing piano styling, Jaine takes on a mix of sweeping acoustic art song, tender Tin Pan Alley ballads and hard, slow German cabaret with ease. Well, not so easy. Jaine's voice is deeper, duskier and more pointed than most who attempt the fickle fates of cabaret - precise in her lyrics and the cutting directness of her voice's bittersweet tone.
