We had the pleasure of interviewing Nikki Yanofsky over Zoom video!

Montreal based jazz singer Nikki Yanofsky returns today with the release of her new album \u2018Nikki By Starlight\u2019 via MNRK Music Group \u2013 a 15-track voyage through vintage jazz standards from storied musicians Frank Sinatra, Chet Baker, Billie Holiday, Miles Davis, and more. \u2018Nikki By Starlight\u2019 was co-produced with the JUNO-winning producer/composer Paul Shrofel and features contributions from Stevie Wonder\u2019s bandmate Greg Phillinganes, Nathan East (Eric Clapton, Herbie Hancock, Michael Jackson) and the iconic Cuban-American jazz trumpeter Arturo Sandoval.

Yanofsky recorded these songs on a vintage RCA 77C, the microphone that was used by Ella Fitzgerald. Yanofsky\u2019s transportive musical touch brings the Great American Songbook into the 21st century, providing a chance for new audiences and existing fans alike to fall in love with a refreshed style.

Ultimately, \u2018Nikki By Starlight\u2019 is a mix of ballads, uptempo tracks and sambas that make you believe in teleportation. \u201cComes Love\u201d has a real slinky vibe reminiscent of an old-fashioned speakeasy, \u201cC\u2019est Si Bon'' is a nod to 1960s Paris with a very classic French arrangement, \u201cWest Coast Blues'' features a pocketed ensemble with Greg Phillinganes on organ and a Lalo Schifrin inspired horn solo, and \u201cEstate\u201d is an Italian classic featuring Arturo Sandovel\u2019s signature trumpet.With \u2018Nikki By Starlight,\u2019 Yanofsky continues to prove her artistry \u2013 stemming all the way back to when she sang the National Anthem on live television at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver in front of 3.2 billion people. Yanofsky\u2019s self-titled album \u2018Nikki,\u2019 released in 2010, gained the attention of the late prolific songwriter Rod Temperton (\u201cThriller,\u201d \u201cRock With You,\u201d \u201cBoogie Nights\u201d), who took her under his wing becoming her mentor, creative coach and musical champion. Her sophomore effort Little Secret, found Yanofsky exploring the velvet-clad sweet spot between jazz and pop with bold sentiments that signaled a self-assured coming of age. In 2020 she released \u2018Turn Down The Sound,\u2019 a 10-track LP (eOne Music) that showcases her independence and marks a newfound departure for her career as a young musician, earning praise upon release from Billboard, Uproxx, and more.
