(To hear the whole song press the play button below) I dedicate this song to the people and animals of Gaza and the Palestinian people. I have written this song in solidarity with calls for a ceasefire in Gaza and to raise funds for humanitarian aid and animal rescue in Gaza. The ongoing retaliatory attack on Gaza by the Israeli government will go down in history as one of the lowest points of humanity. I believe this is an ongoing genocide of the Palestinians and a humanitarian issue of catastrophic devastation and injustice that is being masked by politics and international allegiances. The unprecedented, disproportionate and indiscriminate massacre and maiming of Palestinians and other civilians in Gaza by the Israeli government, the destruction of their homes, hospitals, schools, places of worship, businesses, infrastructure, their animals and environment cannot by justified. My feelings of helplessness, anger, horror, shock, grief and disbelief culminated in this song. All proceeds will go to humanitarian aid and animal rescue (Sulala Animal Rescue) in Gaza. #gaza #ceasefireinGaza #songforGaza #benefitGaza #gazasong #ceasefiresong #animalrescueGaza #stoparmingIsrael #isupportPalestine #freePalestine

Originally intended as demos, these are deeply personal original songs performed live with raw honesty and emotion. Rather than attempt to recapture the emotion in a tracking session, instrumentation was added to the existing live guitar/vocal recordings, with the exception of "Craig's List" which was re-recorded. "Songs from Willow Glen" was recorded in the Hollywood Hills and includes several songs that were inspired by life in Laurel Canyon. Other songs on the album are “Garden of Remembrance”, which is a tribute to the victims of September 11th, “Craig’s List” (“a tongue-in-cheek song about online dating”), “Ode to a dog” (“dedicated to all dogs”), and two sonnets (Yeats and Shelley) put to music. The songs all feature Nicolette's acoustic guitar parts, which are predominantly fingerstyle, accompanied by vocals and harmonies. The album was produced by Jorgen Carlsson, who also played percussion, bass and electric guitar, and includes Jeff Young on keyboards/B3, Stefanie Fife on cello, and Erik Eldenius on drums. The album liner notes provide extensive details about the songs and recordings, and contain all the song lyrics as well as original artwork and photographs by Nicolette.

Début CD from South African non-conformist singer-songwriter-guitarist whose themes range from social commentary to introspection, with fingerstyle acoustic guitar and full band accompaniment including cello, violin, piano, bass and drums.

The physical CD contains in-depth liner notes featuring paintings by Nicolette Aubourg.

The songs, all written by Nicolette Aubourg, apart from the poignant lyrics to “When I Was Old” written by Nicolette’s late mother, Anne Aubourg, are diverse in subject matter: the title track, "Grand View Drive" is named after a street in the Laurel Canyon hills of Los Angeles; track two is inspired in part by Kahlil Gibran's book "The Prophet"; track seven, "Lay Down Your Arms" is a plea for peace. Vocals vary from starkly solo to choral, complementing the rhythmic fingerstyle guitar parts. Instrumentation includes cello, violin, piano, B3, electric guitar, drums, bass and percussion from accomplished musicians Adam Chester, Bob Sheehan, Charlie Bisharat, Doug Baker, Frank Simes, Gavin Lurssen, Jorgen Carlsson, Neil Sebba, Robert Fedeli, and Stefanie Fife. The CD was produced by Steve Holroyd, Bob Sheehan and Nicolette Aubourg. Nicolette Aubourg was born to British/South African parents in South Africa where she was raised and educated, studying classical and jazz guitar, piano, vocal performance and music theory, and acquiring a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and English, before relocating to Los Angeles.
