Label: Five Pesky Kids

"Church Sessions" marks the debut EP by former SYNCO-Member Nicole. In 2021, Nicole released "Don't Leave" in collaboration with the streaming platform 'Spotify', which essentially changed the direction of Nicole's future sound. The Latin Pop immersed debut work was scrapped, after Jason Ingram reached out to Nicole. The critical acclaim and praise eventually lead to the release of the now called EP "Church Sessions".

'Church Sessions' is now available on all digital and streaming platforms, released in December 31st, 2022.

Quote:
"Church Sessions is an EP I've been working on all year. I have to thank my team at Five Pesky Kids, they have essentially allowed me to basically erase all my work and start brand new, even though my album was pretty much done. This was a direction I had to take, to not only honor my own past but also establish myself as an individual, to stand out amongst the crowd. I hope this EP heals the people that are listenting, the same way it has healed me creating it. Thank you to all my fans that have supported my creative output until now. 2023 will be ours." - Nicole

Title: Trust Me
Genre: Christian Pop, Ballad
Length: 3:47


I need someone to hold me down like nobody else
I need someone willing to love me like no one else

When things go wrong
and my strength seems not enough
And I see you be tough
This battle in my heart
These episodes start from the start
But you are the peace in my mind's war
And I

You never stop fighting for me
Even when I quit on me
Every promise you always keep
'cause you're always thre for me
You stand up when nobody does
Even in my lowest days
You never stop fighting for me
You never stop fighting for me

In a perfect world, everything is alright
You paint a world for me, to keep my peace

When things go wrong
and my strength seems not enough
And I see you be tough
This battle in my heart
These episodes start from the start
But you are the peace in my mind's war
And I

You never stop fighting for me
Even when I quit on me
Every promise you always keep
'cause you're always thre for me
You stand up when nobody does
Even in my lowest days


You never stop fighting for me
You never stop fighting for me

You love
like nobody else does
Your heart
is beating with mine
You love
like nobody else does
Your heart
is beating with mine

You never stop fighting for me
Even when I quit on me
Every promise you always keep

You never stop fighting for me
Even when I quit on me
Every promise you always keep
'cause you're always thre for me
You stand up when nobody does
Even in my lowest days
You never stop fighting for me
You never stop fighting for me

03. Hear Me

Title: Hear Me
Genre: Christian Pop
Length: 2:57


Sometimes, Life is solid, it lasts a lifetime
Sometimes, Life is harsh, it lasts a second
Sometimes It's scary, when there's nothing to record
and how fast, "What is" turns to "What was".

Waking up this morning, and I feel again
These depressing thoughts
I handle it with a cigarette
and it makes me think

If I died today, in a heartbeat
In a room's corner, alone
Will the lord hear my prayers
As I give out my last prayer
I would tear apart, will it haunt me forever
these tears they meant so much
If I died today
If I died today


Can't stand the thought of being alone
As I drop on this floor, will you hear for once
And I blame myself, lord hear me out
As I lit this cigarette one more time

Would I go to heaven, Will I embrace my soul
Lord hear me out

If I died today, in a heartbeat
In a room's corner, alone
Will the lord hear my prayers
As I give out my last prayer
I would tear apart, will it haunt me forever
these tears they meant so much
If I died today
If I died today


I'm sorry, I apologize
I've never felt so alone
I need you lord, please hear me out
I need you to know

If I died today, in a heartbeat
In a room's corner, alone
Will the lord hear my prayers
As I give out my last prayer
I would tear apart, will it haunt me forever
these tears they meant so much
If I died today
If I died today

Oh My God!
Help me out of my misery
Take this shallow heart

How do you always understand me
Huh?
It's crazy to think of more
but you're so hard to quit
Oh
And you'll always be there for me

And I
I tried, Lord I truly did
I said please!
But I'm still here, with you on my mind

Oh My God!
Help me out of my misery
Take this shallow heart
It hurts too deep
All this just gets to me
Oh my God


I don't understand
Uh
It's not what I want, but you keep on giving it to me
And I can't call it quits
Uh
We tend to lose it

And I
I tried, Lord I truly did
I said please!
But I'm still here, with you on my mind

Oh My God!
Help me out of my misery
Take this shallow heart
It hurts too deep
All this just gets to me
Oh my God


Oh God (8x)

Yeah (2x)
I need to know
Yeah (2x)
You'll always be there for me

Oh My God!
Help me out of my misery
Take this shallow heart
It hurts too deep
All this just gets to me
Oh my God

Title: Don't Leave
Artists: NICOLE
Release Date: October 10th, 2021
Genre: Gospel, Christian Music, R&B/Soul
Length: 4:08



"Don't Leave" is the first music release by NICOLE through an Spotify Exclusive deal pushed by long-time label 'Five Pesky Kids', the company behind "SYNCO", the girl group Nicole was part of until their halt in 2016. The deal with Spotify was announced prior to the release, though no further information was published until the actual release of the song in October 10th, 2021. The song "Don't Leave" was written and produced by Nicole and Jason Ingram, the former known for huge hits in the christian music scene.

"Don't Leave" is decribed to be at times wild, loud and vibrant, but then it becomes soulful & rich - a song perfect to embody the singer that is Nicole. known to be a great vocalist behind the endless pop releases with SYNCO. Nicole herself said that; "It's the first song I ever get to release and I wanted to make a statement. Life isn't supposed to end in the darkness, you will receive new life in you. After every tough journey, there will be light to reward you. You will be heard. I wanted people to realize that I am no longer who I used to be and yet I still am who I am. I changed, I received new blessings, I am healed."


The path out of the darkness
your soul hurt in the starkness
a hurt soul walking
till he comes knocking
Don't leave (don't leave)
Don't leave (don't leave)

I look up
Oh lord hear my prayers
Don't leave me behind
hear my prayers
Don't leave (don't leave)
Don't leave (don't leave)

All of a sudden, I breathed
This beating heart, these open eyes
Your power I feel
This darkness, all of sudden gone
(I feel your warmth, I feel your warmth warmth oh)
I feel your warmth
(I feel your warmth oh)
I feel your warmth


Right in that moment, I realize
I sing, cause you gave me
A song of revival
Lord he's immortal
Don't leave (don't leave)
Don't leave (don't leave)

I once felt hurt
but now I am healed
I heard about your grace
and now I feel healed
Don't leave (don't leave)
Don't leave (don't leave)

All of a sudden, I breathed
This beating heart, these open eyes
Your power I feel
This darkness, all of sudden gone
(I feel your warmth, I feel your warmth warmth oh)
I feel your warmth
(I feel your warmth oh)
I feel your warmth


I thought there was no way back
All the mistakes I have done
Yes, looking back it felt so wrong
But you called my name
I thought I was too far gone
All the mistakes I have done
Yes, looking back it felt so wrong
But you called my name
You called my name

All of a sudden, I breathed
This beating heart, these open eyes
Your power I feel
This darkness, all of sudden gone
(I feel your warmth, I feel your warmth warmth oh)
I feel your warmth
(I feel your warmth oh)
I feel your warmth
(I feel your warmth, I feel your warmth warmth oh)
I feel your warmth
(I feel your warmth oh)
I feel your warmth

Dustyn: Nicole!!! I'm so proud of you! I've known you for around, what, ten years now??! I've always been aware of your talents, your heart and who you are. The public only ever got a small glimpse of the true Nicole amongst the glamour and chaos of SYNCO. When I found out you were going to share your gospel roots on your solo material, I was over the moon. Now the world really gets to hear you SING and this EP is a great introduction to the beautiful, talented soul you are. Growing up in a very religious household, there's something so familiar and comforting about these songs. It's not every day you hear mainstream artists sing so openly about their faith and I commend that. It's a brave move and an honest one too. Congratulations on the release and I can't wait to see what 2023 has in store for you, darling!

OOC: Great to have another full project from you after all this time! Just like I had Dustyn say, I love that the new direction is something that's not really seen on the boards. Really makes Nicole stand out in her solo endeavour. Wonderful job, sweetie!!

Alicia: Sweetie, I was so pleasantly surprised by this release, the Gospel and RnB vibes flow through these songs so beautifully. It could have been so easy for you to get into a recording studio with a bunch of producers and songwriters and create tailor-made pop hits but the fact that you've decided to record and release something that you so clearly believe in, is a beautiful thing to see from a young artist. You need to keep hold of your ideals, because that's what will set you on your own unique path. This is beautiful and moving, but beyond that, this is just completely remarkable to hear in this day and age. Truly unexpected and wonderful release, my friend.
