Nicole Willis: All The Time
2000 Sähkö / Puu (Puu-20)
       
   

BPM, JAN 2001:

"A Maurice Fulton / Jimi Tenor Production. Vocalist Nicole Willis delivers one of the best songs I've heard in a while. Moody, sad and having to cope with something pretty heavy (though I'm not sure what), With excellent production and mixes by Roberto Rodriguez (R&B mix), Jori Hulkkonen (house) and Jimi Tenor (dub)."

     

MUZIK, OCT 2000:

"Also known as Mrs Jimi Tenor and/or the singer on Leftfield's Swords, Nicole Willis has a kind of deep, Motown soulfulness redolent of Shara Nelson at her best. With Roberto Rodriguez' ultra-dreamy, electronic Motown orchestrations, All The Time is more sultry than Dave Fowler's missus, and a fond reminder of how much we owe to Massive Attack's Blue Lines." - CB / ****

     

THE FACE, SEPT 2000:

"NY soul singer + Jimi Tenor + weirdy house hero Maurice Fulton = tune!"
- PRIME CUTS

     

MUZIK, OCT 2000:

"Far more than just being Jimi Tenor's missus and creative partner, New York's Ms Willis has sung with everyone from Leftfield to Curtis Mayfield and now presents this taster for her forthcoming solo album. Tastefully executed soul-funk, a clean uplifting voice, and mixes from Roberto Rodriguez, Jori Hulkkonen and Jimi Tenor. Smooth." - GUEST REVIEWER: COLDCUT / ***

     

7th AUG 2000, "ESSENTIAL R&B TUNE":

"After working for the likes of Leftfield, Curtis Mayfield and Deee-lite (and fronting the New York Acid Jazz group Repercussions), a label has finally seen sense to give Nicole her own proper release. Produced by hubby Jimi Tenor and Maurice Fulton, it's a cool soul-drenched classic sounding number with a great chorus, perfect for extended radio play." - DARREN WALL / *****
