Press Reviews Greg's debut CD was named as "One of the 10 Best Albums of the Year" by _Entertainment Today_ and wrote "Remember his name, he's on his way up." _Music Connection_ raved "top notch...we're quite sure A&R reps will be equally struck by this artist" and _Shock Value_ wrote "One of the most promising artists we've heard...we can't say enough." ECE Worldwide, 2/20/00 says "Greg Nicholson can be described best as a "Triple A genius. If there were a poster boy for the format he would probably be the model. His music is full of across-the-board, pop perfection. He has the kind of voice that women want to hear and men want to have that it very unique, sexy and passionate. You will not be disappointed; this is a star in the making." This just in--Zach of Stardust Radio has this to say, "Over a thousand CDs and it's pretty obvious why when you hear this. Great lyrics that most anyone can relate to. Nice energy in the vocals. The rhythm's strong and the guitar is indescribable. Four minutes that belongs on the radio a helluva lot more than what is played nowadays. How come I've never hearda this guy? God, I love mp3."
