Nicola Gaea - Rise

Rise - the EP, is an introduction to Nicola’s world, her mind and her reality. It is her arrival as an artist and the project that breaks down the barriers of her artistic insecurity. The EP explores the complex feelings of being alive, but simultaneously acknowledges the responsibility to feel, to love, to heal, to rise for yourself and for others. The belief that we have the power to create anything we want. To trust yourself and to trust the process.

The EP is experimental in its musicality, taking inspiration from genres like neo-soul, jazz, old-school garage and RnB to formulate a sound of her own - a future soul concoction. With a diverse range of vocal textures, guitar solos, multiple vocal stacks, harmonies and complimentary adlibs, the layered instrumentation creates a powerful feeling that mirrors the deeper meaning of the lyrics.
