Last Wednesday, WorkLife met with the multi-talented singer-songwriter Remi Nicole in Covent Garden. Exuding laid-back cool, dressed in high-waisted peg leg jeans, a pale pink vest and black converse boots, she explained the sounds of her new album, ‘Cupid Shoot Me’:
"Most people who have heard it think it’s a really fun and uplifting album when really it’s quite dark," says Remi. A self-taught multi-instrumentalist, musician, singer and songwriter, Remi is so proud of ‘Cupid Shoot Me’ that she now considers it her first proper album, after the tentative, underrated start that was her 2007 debut set, ‘My Conscience & I’. "I feel like that was an album of demos," she says. "This is my real debut. I didn’t know myself when I was 23. It was a challenging time. Now I feel like I know who I am and I know what I want, and that’s making the whole process of being a musician, and everything it involves, a lot easier.”
‘Cupid Shoot Me’ hitting the stores on 7th of September soulfully mixes playful reggae with infectious pop melodies. Already quite the scenester and known for her celebrity friendships with Amy Winehouse, Agyness Deyn and Alexa Chung, Remi seems used to the limelight, and we’re sure she’ll shine with the new album release.
