Nicola Roberts was the last lucky star to land a place in Girls Aloud back in the day. But after hearing her second solo single, Lucky Day she will be the one everyone remembers.
Admittedly I wasn't a fan of her debut offering at first, but Beat of my Drum is an acquired taste and definitely a grower. With Lucky Day Nicola will firmly establish herself as a credible artist. Going down the more mature solo path she is sounding like Paloma Faith and Rumer.
Her quirky look and relaxed image is brilliant to see now as Nicole oozes the confidence she lacked in the early days of the band. Finally we are able to hear her powerful voice, even on this slow number Nicola showcases her ability to convey a relaxed sweet sounding single!
After hearing this single and the album title "Cinderella's Eyes" I am really excited to hear the entire album. She has certainly created the most unique and inspiring music out of all the Girls Aloud solo ventures.
I look forward to a solo tour, Nicola. I'd be first in the queue!
The second single from Nicola Roberts is Lucky Day
