Chelsea Nichole featured on Andre Delano's album "My so fine" in stores August 19, 2008
Chelsea Nichole will be featured on "The Da Da song" on the upcoming release of "My So Fine", the sophmore album for saxophonist Andre Delano.
The CD starts with the hot Latin flavored “Sista Caliente.” Andre teams with Arranger-Producer Sir Gant (Anita Baker, Peabo Bryson, Madonna) on the reggae induced “Once My Love.” Delano showcases his beautiful vocal skills on the title track “My So Fine” as well as “The Da Da Song,” which is very reminiscent of Motown’s Jr. Walker and the All Stars. “That Much (I Love U)” also has an old school feel that puts you in the mind of Al Green and Ronald Isley. The song that Andre calls a “lyrical vow”, “I Do,” is certain to become the next timeless wedding song.
We walk down memory lane with Andre to his college days with the aptly titled “College Sweetheart” and “JSU Jam” that gives off the marching band feel of being back at a college football half-time show. We are graced by the presence of smooth jazz keyboardist Kevin Toney on the heartfelt “Soultie,” and trumpeter Greg Adams is the featured performer on the wedding ceremonial, “First Dance.” Andre continues his sexy saxophone prowess on the romantic ballads, “More Than Words Can Say,” which reminds you of a sax-seducing Prince song and “Get To You,” a cross-breed of Earth Wind and Fires’ “That’s the Way of the World” and Rose Royce’s “I Want To Get Next To You.” Andre ends the CD with an upbeat “Home Sweet Home” and a self-induced cover song with an instrumental version of “The Da Da Song.”
Delano has opened for Boney James, Norman Brown, Peabo Bryson, Peter White, Rick Braun, Kenny G, Mindi Abair and many others. Each opening performance has resulted in Andre selling the most CDs of the night. Andre’s sensual and energetic performances have left his audiences in awe. He is approaching the saxophone with a whole new vigor. “My So Fine” is the perfect next step in his musical evolution. Delano adds, “A lot of people say that the saxophone is a very sexy instrument. “My So Fine” is an album that is all about love’s sexiness. My challenge on this one was to see just how sexy the saxophone could be. What a fun exploration. Enjoy!”
