Getting Kick's From Stevie Nicks

 
‘Within music lies all the wonders and keys to the miracles of life – natural and spiritual. Music can facilitate the process of change and growth.’
Ted Andrews
A beautiful quote that is no truer of any other artist than Stephanie Lynn Nicks. She is a performer who has often fearlessly exposed her own vulnerability for all to see. Born in Arizona, she was the front woman of the band Fleetwood Mac who influenced the music industry for over two decades; she travelled the world, fell in and out of love with her high school sweetheart, battled a cocaine addiction and is still here to tell the tale through her music.

Lady’s and gentleman, Stevie Nicks is back! Having ‘Gone her own way’ for 10 years, sassy songstress has a new album on it’s way.

With massive co-producers working on the album such as Dave Stewart and Glen Ballard, her latest release does have tones that are arguably influenced by The Eurythmics. Having listened to the single, 'Secret Love' which has been released through iTunes, I must admit I thought it was a bit mellow, especially when listening to songs such as ‘Rhiannon’, ‘Dreams’ and ‘Songbird’ all of which I think are so powerful, especially when performed them live.

Hopefully the rest of the album will not disappoint and we will see some glimmers of the young Stevie who had a slightly more rock and roll edge. Either way I will always be a massive fan and continue to get my kicks from Stevie Nicks!
 
The album titled 'In Your Dreams' will be released through Warner Music in May. Stevie will tour the album with Rod Stewart starting on March 20 in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida.
