QUOTES:
“Over and over, Nicholas Alan takes you right up to the times in your life when you were at your most vulnerable, your tenderest, your most emotionally intense. He takes you there, draws back a curtain and says, ‘look, there you are. You saw these things, you felt these things.’ He is, from the standpoint of pure melody and lyric, a legit candidate for the best undiscovered songwriter alive. His songs grow and grow on you until you are compelled to listen.” – Everett Young, Intelligent Pop

” I wish all ‘new/indie releases’ that we get at EAR CANDY for review were this damn good…All artists putting out debut indie CD’s take notice: THIS is the CD you should be aspiring to.” -Ronnie Dannelly @ EarCandyMag.com

Interesting always and at times keenly insightful. His vocals are sheer delight: Jack Johnson meets Brian Wilson. Deceptively soft, yet powerfully on the mark.”
-Kevan Breitinger @ Indie-Music.com

“Superb guitar playing which is accented by pleasant chords and memorable melodies that showcase Nicholas’s dreamy vocals.” -Gian Fiero @ Musesmuse.com
