Gorevette, Lustfully Yours

By Mandy Mullins

Grab your dancing shoes and head out onto the floor and get ready to have a great time! In a match made in rock & roll girls heaven, the wonderful Nikki Corvette and Gore Gore Girls’ guitarist/leading lady Amy Gore have teamed up to form an ultra-fun little Detroit super group called Gorevette. Along with Lianna Castillo on bass and Al King on drums, Gorvette have just released their seven-song debut EP, Lustfully Yours.

Produced by Amy (what a super-talent!), the EP carries on the Ramones-meets-girl group sound that has always been Nikki’s trademark. From the hard-rocking kick-off of “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me,” fans are in for a real treat. Other tracks like “Baby Let’s Rock” and “Fake It” (Nikki even says “the eff”!) are sure to get your hands a-clappin’ and your hips a-shakin’!

But for me, the sweetest part of any treat is always at the center. “Honey Don’t You Know” is a gorgeous and gentle little song that had me singing along on just the second listen. It’s absolutely wonderful!

As someone who loves all of Nikki’s recordings, from her days with the Corvettes to more recent endeavors with the Stingrays, I can honestly say that Nikki’s voice has never sounded better: clear as a bell with so much sweetness, but always with plenty of attitude and personality to spare.

These girls were born to rock & roll; there is no doubt about that! Can’t wait to hear what’s coming next!

Lustfully Yours was released on January 26. For more info, check out Gorevette on MySpace. And be sure to watch the video for “Lustfully Yours” on YouTube.
