Originally from Venice, California, singer and songwriter Nicollette Sullivan has dazzled audiences with her spellbinding talent and grace. Her unique musical perspective is shaped by influences like Billie Holiday, Etta James, Josephine Baker, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and the fusion of elements from Jazz, R&B, Blues, Gospel, and Pop music genres. Nicollette Sullivan’s distinct musical tastes have fueled a stunning new single, which is a cover of the synth-pop classic originally performed by the Eurythmics, titled Sweet Dreams.
Amazingly, Nicollette Sullivan breathes a whole new life into Sweet Dreams from the vantage point of a jazz singer. The track totes an organic terrain that features an elegant stream of jazzy swing drums and upright bass. In the course of this musical conversation, we discover some very crafty piano measures and enchanting guitar strums that incite the listener into its warm gnosis.
Nicollette Sullivan is able to make Sweet Dreams her own with an inventive and equally seductive vocal performance that transforms the meaning of the song without even changing the tune’s words. She is not only able to turn Sweet Dreams into something soulful but give the title a sense of personal charm. The rich texture of Nicollette Sullivan’s voice and her range as a singer enlivens Sweet Dreams in a way that is totally unimaginable. Sweet Dreams is out now.
The song is the first single from Nicollette Sullivan’s self-titled and debut album “Nicollette,” which is slated for release on May 21, 2021 by For Artists Records.
This multi-talented songstress is sure to capture your heart by the integrity she possesses for music.
The single for “Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)” reached at Number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 2 in the UK. In the rest of the world, the song reached the Top 10 in the charts in more than a dozen countries. Part of the single’s success has been attributed to MTV, which played the video repeatedly. Stewart said he and Lennox had wanted something “weird and dreamlike. So we mocked up a record-company boardroom in a studio in Wardour Street and put a cow in it, to signify reality. There we were: Annie and I laid flat on a table, and this cow, which was peeing everywhere.”
