about

Open is the debut album of British songwriting duo Nicola Palmer and Jamie Childs. Hailing from the South East of England, Open is inspired by the personal experiences of the songwriters and their increasing social awareness. The title track, Open, talks about the experiences of handling a relationship with an age gap and tells the songwriter's perspective of how the media only focuses on youth and perfection.

Featuring the dulcet tones of Nicola Palmer, the sound of the album leans towards the classic sounds of the 70s and 80s Motown and Soul with inspiration from a number of artists including Sade, Norah Jones, Nile Rodgers and the James Taylor Quartet.

The Open album project was conceived and realised by three old university friends with Nicola Palmer singing, Jamie Childs on guitars and Andrew Chua producing, recording and mixing the album. Surrounding ourselves with talented musicians such as drummers Peter Swindley and Jonathan 'BFL' Sketcher and bassist Stuart Barker, we took to the recording studios of the University of Westminster, London and Open was born.
