Shelley Nicole’s blaKbüshe is the living, breathing embodiment of progressive music. Imagine Nona Hendryx meets Black Sabbath or Janis Joplin meets Grace Jones, it is then that you will begin to feel the blaKbüshe experience. blaKbüshe, reminiscent of the Soul/Pop recording group Labelle, is a blend best described by Shelley Nicole as SolaRoc, an undeniably spine-tingling surge of rock, funk, soul, and beyond. As validated by Labelle member Sarah Dash, “blaKbüshe is not to be overlooked.”

The Village Voice calls Shelley Nicole’s blaKbüshe “an ingenious musical evolution.”

Her latest single “blaK Girls” was critically acclaimed by Curve Magazine as “an irresistible dance groove,” and was featured on the U People soundtrack. Her song “Box” was also featured on the latest boldaslove.us mixtape “The Getaway.” Rob Fields of Boldaslove.us adds “If Shelley Nicole’s latest project, The Quick & Dirty EP, is any evidence of what's to come, we should expect more greatness from this soul-funk-rock queen.”
