(24 Customer Reviews)
The intro of Nina Sky's self-titled debut announces twin sisters Natalie and Nicole Albino's lofty intentions to break down boundaries of style, incorporating varied sounds from R&B to reggae to rock. The twosome backs up its boasts with an album's worth of curious, diverse, engaging pop.
NINA SKY opens with the infectious, thumping, dancehall style of the sensuous single "Move Ya Body," a track showcasing the Albino sisters' dulcet, flexible vocals. The duo follows up that dance-club beat by slowing it down a bit on the nimble ode to strong womanhood, "You Deserve," for which they enlist one of the masters of that form, Betty Wright. They also display the ability to play gangsta on the tough-minded "Let It Go." All the songs on Nina Sky's debut were penned or co-penned by the sisters, who show a nascent knack for clever phrases. Perhaps the sky is the limit for this fetching duo.

Nina Sky
$9.09 Personal turmoil has always proved to be a creative elixir for musicians, so it's not surprising that Brandy Norwood would dip into that well for inspiration on her fourth album, AFRODISIAC. In addition to her transformation from a teenage pop/TV star to an international music sensation, the 25-year-old vocalist followed motherhood with a divorce and also stepped ...
| | Mario Winans Hurt No More CD (2004)
Nina Sky
$11.49 For a member of the revered Winans clan, practically the first family of gospel, to turn to Bad Boy Records would almost seem scandalous, but so it is with Mario Winans, the sultry-toned crooner/songwriter. After releasing an overlooked debut in 1997, he aligned with Sean Combs's empire to become a well-regarded producer. Almost seven years later, he emerged with the smooth, multicolored HURT NO MORE, a record crafted in the Bad Boy style, but absolutely immersed in ...

Nina Sky
$10.79 On his second solo record, KISS OF DEATH, Jadakiss begins the wistful, reflective song "Why" with the question, "Why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?" Unwavering confidence contrasted by soft introspection is a trademark of the ex-Lox member, and this quality distinguishes the Yonkers, New York rapper from his peers.
KISS OF DEATH balances street knowledge with humor, and ...

| | Siggy R CD (2001)
Nina Sky
$8.39 Siggy is back. The critically acclaimed band from academe is releasing their second CD entitled R. The raw power of their debut, Harlow's Girl, is magnified and polished in this EP for the ages. R manages to prove that scientists can still be artists in the lull beyond genomics. Two years after Harlow's Girl, packed shows at venues such as The Whisky and The Roxy, a sold out release party for R at the Viper Room, Siggy still brings a murderous combination of love, lust, death and verisimilitude.The reviews for Siggy's debut relished the rebirth of "the dirty underbelly of rock and roll." The comparisons ranged from X to V.U. to REM. Box that. Now teamed up with producer Eric Arm, Siggy serves up another fiercely independent slice of music. Simple, deft rhythms, voluptuous hooks, evocative lyrics, all delivered with enough swagger to let you know this is no boy band. The most erudite line-up in popular music has remained intact for R. Fronted by the best lyricist/vocalist/quadriplegic/research ...

$10.05 | | Scott Greeson Proving Grounds CD (2007)
Nina Sky
$12.69 As one person said of Scott Greeson, "Some artists perform the songs; some artists are the songs. Scott is definitely the latter."* Scott Greeson’s songs are best described as poetic snapshots of folks living in America’s heartland. His lyrics paint the picture of real, hard-working people whom Scott encounters in everyday life. These people and their stories have been a constant source of inspiration for Scott as a person and as a songwriter. Radio stations call Scott’s music "Americana," a format blending folk, traditional, bluegrass, alternative country, and acoustic blues, and audiences love it. While growing up in Lafayette, Indiana, Scott’s earliest musical inspirations came from those folks living in the "cornfield turned sub-division" in which he grew up: a neighbor who taught him to play guitar, older kids who introduced him to rock and roll, and his parents who made certain he sang in the church choir and also exposed him to country radio. Scott’s early influences were well rounded, from Credence Clearwater Revival to Merle Haggard, to classic church hymns — he listened to and loved it all. Scott started his first rock band at age 12 and wrote his first tune at age 15. Ironically, the first tune was a country ballad that yielded Scott some teasing from his hard-rocking fellow musicians. The song also yielded Scott an award in a statewide songwriting competition. Although his winnings from the contest were limited to some fried chicken, a dozen donuts and some albums that no one really wanted, Scott realized that someone might actually want to hear what he had to say through his music. Scott’s unending love for songwriting and performing music has brought him to the place he is today – with two CDs (Hoosier Surf , and The Proving Grounds), a growing list of fans, and a steadily increasing demand for stage appearances. Scott has graced stages throughout the Midwest. He's performed at the Verizon Wireless ...
