“Carmen has a rich and sensual voice that just envelops your ears and a shimmer in her tone that arrows straight for the emotion centers.”

“Carmen Nickerson’s "Room to Grow" is quite the gem and amply demonstrates not only the talents of this singer-songwriter but also her great potential. We look forward to future offerings from this immensely talented artist.”

“Contrary to the implied humility in the title, “Room to Grow” sounds like an album that took a lifetime to create ... It is one of our top 15 albums of 2023. ”

“... while “Spiritual Playboy” is another major shift, a lush and sly kiss-off to a deceptive lover.”

“Nickerson’s first studio album is a tribute to her home. [Her] deep, rich tone carries each story into fruition with connected harmony.”

“Carmen’s version of Cat Steven’s “Wild World” was listed as the 38th best cover of 2023. The list also included covers by Dolly Parton, Cher, Stewart Copeland, Blues Traveler, T-Pain, and Juliana Hatfield.”

““Room to Grow” was listed as the 16th best album of 2023.”

“With this album, Carmen is growing into her role as a storyteller, going way beyond that of a singer. But a singer she most certainly is with a voice as clear as Waterford Crystal. It is powerful but can be soft and vulnerable as the need arises”
