Frederick Jones The star of the show here is Nino's vocals. The mastering of the recording is impeccable. The clarity and separation of the instruments is superb. This has that throwback sound of years gone bye. Sounds so good with a good pair of cans and a high end amp. Lovin' it. Favorite track: Golden Hour.

    Girl Named Nino is a band, a person and now, an album. From the upfront, gritty and energetic opening track to the tender and stripped down closing track, Girl Named Nino encompasses a broad musical landscape across its 48-minute plus entirety. Girl Named Nino was recorded in a more live trio setting. It was a departure from Nino Arobelidze's solo studio album Nomad. The result is a different sounding album filled with rich tones and more of a live show feel.

    BIO

    Girl Named Nino is a band, a person and now, an album.

    Hailing from Tbilisi-Georgia, Nino Arobelidze moved to Chicago to integrate her multi-cultural and stylistic interests to shape her sound. Nino furthered her musical vocabulary, studying classical vocal performance at the DePaul University Music School, where she put together her first group, The Crossroads Project (the name being a nod to her native Tbilisi, known to link Asia to Europe via its trade routes).

    Nino's solo full length release, NOMAD in 2014 established her as an artist to watch among numerous media outlets, both in the US as well as abroad. "Jazz fans, R&B, Hip Hop aficionados, EDM troubadours, genuine rock and roll lovers and spoken word listeners all find themselves sitting appreciatively at the altar of NOMAD” wrote Hannah Frank (OnAxis Music), while Tony Sarabia of WBEZ compared her voice to Billie Holiday's.

    Girl Named Nino, is Nino's third release on the Ni Fu Ni Fa Records. This is her second full-length solo album.

With lemon-colored boots and purple hair when the smell of green hits the air i'll wait for you at our usual place People jiving, blowing out their smoke drinking coffee, shooting their dope I'll wait for you at the Blue Note at the Blue Note, at the Blue Note, at the Blue Note- wake me up when Spring arrives, turn off the TV, break out the ice i'll wait for you when i open my eyes the more you have the more you fear to lose the more you give the more you get to chose to carry on, to carry on- so when the night is over , so when the night is over, so when the night is over, open up the door
