I'm actually in love with Nico- she is the sexiest woman ever and has the best voice i've ever heard from a woman.

Love her (Score:1)

She has the kind of singing style you either love or hate. I see many similarities between her and Moz. They both seem to generate this love/hate reaction, and they both sing from a very deep level. You get the sense that they live the song and not merely sing it.

I would recommend to anyone interested in testing the waters to check out "The Classic Years" cd that samples a few songs from each of her albums over the years. I am particularly fond of "These Days" and "Fairest of the Seasons". The lyrics have that dark yet wistful quality that Moz has, and the music is quite beautiful. I can't help drawing parallels between these songs and one like Unhappy Birthday where the music is upbeat and catchy with lyrics that cut across this seemingly happy exterior.

Here is a link where you can go to sample a few seconds of each song. Remove spaces if needed.
