5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing new singer songwriter., December 6, 1999
By A Customer
I caught Sheila Nicholls at the Living Room in NYC last weekend, and bought this CD immediately. She has a beautiful voice, and melodies that stick in your head the moment you hear them. She has a languid sound reminiscent of Tori Amos, and great lyrics and melodies like Ani Difranco. I highly recommend checking this CD out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this CD, March 6, 2000
By A Customer
If you have stumbled across this cd, consider yourself lucky. I saw Nicholls perform at a teeny tiny venue and was blown away. Her CD added to my awe. She has a beautiful voice and sings from the heart. And she is really out doing it for herself - so support her.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and insightful music, January 20, 2005
This CD is excellent. Sheila has a very powerful and beautiful voice. Also, I think that Elevator is one of the most beautiful and amazing songs I've ever heard. It has a way of putting me through almost every emotion when hearing it (Elevator). The CD also has an overlying theme of corruption in our society but with hopeful undertones. I highly recommend this disc! It's worth all the money just for Elevator!
