Corey's debut CD We're All Stars in its entirety maintains modern appeal while cleverly delivering reflective moments of classic 70's rock. 12:00 NIMAT (NYC) Nimat's sound is a melodic synergy of soul and rock, creating a refreshing, unique sound embodied by depth, mood and emotion. Her fusion of bluesy lyrics, rock melodies, and soulful rhythms sets Nimat apart from all others. NY, DC & Chicago all agree - NIMAT is an experience you MUST indulge. |
