Premiere: Danielle Nicole – “Gaslight”

Blues Rock Review is exclusively premiering the new single “Gaslight” from Danielle Nicole, a groove-heavy track that leans into old-school R&B while delivering a powerful modern message. The song is released by Forty Below Records.

Driven by Nicole’s commanding bass work, “Gaslight” locks into a tight, syncopated rhythm that immediately grabs attention. The track features a relentless groove anchored by drummer and producer Tony Braunagel, whose résumé includes work with Taj Mahal and Bonnie Raitt. Together, the rhythm section lays a deep foundation for sinewy guitar lines and Nicole’s unmistakable vocal presence.

At its core, “Gaslight” explores the moment of clarity in a toxic relationship, capturing the strength it takes to trust your instincts and walk away. Nicole delivers the message with conviction, her soulful voice rising above the groove with both grit and vulnerability. The result is a track that feels equally personal and universal, blending blues, funk, and R&B into a statement of self-worth.

Danille calls the song, “A groove driven bass soaked anthem about lifting the veil and refusing to settle for less then your worth.”

A Grammy-nominated artist with a Blues Music Awards to her name, Danielle Nicole continues to push her sound forward while staying rooted in the traditions that shaped her. “Gaslight” hints at more new music to come, with additional releases expected later this year.

Hailing from Kansas City, Missouri, Nicole has built a reputation as one of the most dynamic performers in contemporary blues and roots music.
