3 GRAMMY NOMINATIONS

During the lockdown in 2021, DiNicola had the honor of being a part of two incredible works of art – both up for consideration for 3 GRAMMY Nominations! The Book Of Rounds – Choral Edition and the Telly Award Winning Virtual Choir Of Joy. 

You Are My Sunshine

2020

During the peak of the Covid-19 shutdown in NYC, DiNicola recorded this powerfully healing rendition of a classic title by herself under strict quarantine for having travelled home internationally at a time when the world was closing it’s borders. DiNicola’s a cappella vocals layer on top of each other to create a sea of emotional comfort. The files were sent to California to be mixed and produced by her longtime artistic ally Julian Coryell (Alanis Morissette, Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Jewel) at West Triad Studios, Los Angeles.

A Woman In Love

2020

A tribute to her fallen idol: DiNicola covers A Woman In Love (It’s Not Me) by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers from their Hard Promises album. Produced by Julian Coryell (Alanis Morissette, Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Jewel) at West Triad Studios, Los Angeles.

LOVE + DESTRUCTION

2017

DiNicola’s fifth EP is her fourth collaboration with producer Julian Coryell (Alanis Morissette, Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Jewel) and is by far her most exceptional release to date. Written at a time when DiNicola was at her most vulnerable, Love + Destruction guides us through the long and tumultuous journey of falling in love and watching that love fall apart.

Wake Up

2014

When DiNicola teamed up, again, with Producer Julian Coryell (Alanis Morissette, Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Jewel) to record a new single last year, no one expected the two would emerge with a 6 track EP. This newest collection of boldly creative songs takes a sophisticated and wildly exciting turn from DiNicola’s previous releases. Wake Up features the emotionally resonant lyrics that has endeared DiNicola to fans and critics alike, paired with melodies that are so undeniably catchy they will echo in your head… and heart for days.

Some Greener Yard

EP 2013

DiNicola’s most ambitious project, thus far. Produced by acclaimed producer/musician Julian Coryell (Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Jewel, Alanis Morissette), Some Greener Yard combines the rocking sound of DiNicola’s debut EP with the vocal range of her follow-up, Draw Back Your Bow. Vast electric guitar excursions meet gentle ballads in an upbeat and accessible way. Both of which, perfectly demonstrate the different sides of DiNicola at her most vulnerable with soaring crystalline vocals. This superb collection of original work intriguingly flaunts the artist’s growth.

Draw Back Your Bow

EP 2011

Produced by acclaimed producer/musician Julian Coryell (Aimee Mann, Leonard Cohen, Jewel, Alanis Morissette), Draw Back Your Bow, is a brilliant collection of cover songs full of fresh surprises and satisfying inevitabilities. Compelling arrangements support Leslie’s warm and sensual voice throughout the album, while her tour de force vocals move flawlessly from vulnerable and polished strokes into raw and empowering slaps. With every song, Leslie defies your expectations and puts a spell on your heart.

It Resembles Fiction

EP 2010

Leslie DiNicola’s 5-track debut, It Resembles Fiction, is a notable showcase of compelling and personal songwriting that matches her effortless powerhouse vocals. Produced by Ellis Traver (Diane Birch, Fischerspooner, Sean Lennon, Mark Ronson), It Resembles Fiction is an upbeat collection of inherent hope against life’s sorrow that you can sing along with… and want to.
