Artist:Nichole Nordeman
Song:Legacy
Album:Recollection: The Best of Nichole Nordeman
CCM singer songwriter Nichole Nordeman had success with her 2002 album Woven & Spun and singles like Legacy. She won four Dove Awards. After taking time off to raise her son, she returned with a new album in 2017. She was born Jan.3, 1972 in Dallas but she grew up singing in church in Colorado Springs. Nichole moved to Los Angeles and while working as a waitress, she entered a Gospel Music Association talent contest. She was spotted by Sparrow Records house producer Charlie Peacock. Peacock started out as a recoding artist. But by the 90s he was discovering and producing many CCM acts for Sparrow. He brought in Mark Hammond to co-produce. Hammond started out as a session drummer in the 70s, got into songwriting in the 80s and produced CCM artist Cindy Morgan in the 90s. Nichole's first two albums were nominated for Dove Awards. But the 2002 album Woven & Spun sold 300,000 copies which is pretty good for a CCM album. And she won four Dove Awards. She writes all her own songs and her songs don't seem to be as preachy as other CCM artists. After releasing the 2005 album Brave and giving birth to her son, she didn't release another album until 2017. She released a few singles and a 2015 EP. And she even wrote a couple of books. But It's possible her fans have forgotten about her. This budget comp covers Nichole's initial run. Her 2017 album Every Mile Mattered was produced by Tommee Profitt who is best known for producing the rapper NF. I guess she was looking for a more contemporary sound than she would have got with Peacock. Here's the video for Legacy by Nichole Nordeman.
