Interview with Lori Nicely | "Come On Down."

Join us for an inspiring conversation with musician, composer, and recording artist Lori Nicely as she talks about her new single, “Come On Down” — a vibrant blend of funk, smooth jazz, and pop.


LORI NICELY shines in this latest release, bringing together an all-star lineup of talent. Billboard-charting vocalist Selina Albright delivers powerful lead vocals and rich harmonies that truly captivate the audience. Renowned bassist Vernon Prout (Lizzo, Lalah Hathaway, Tamar Braxton) lays down the groove, while award-winning drummer Mike Reid (Super Bowl, Oscars, Rihanna, Beyoncé) brings the beat with precision. Lori’s own jazzy, lyrical, and expressive piano style ties it all together, elevating the track with her signature sound.


Based in the Washington, D.C. area, Lori Nicely is a multifaceted composer, pianist, arranger, songwriter, and producer. Her music—uplifting, lush, and melodic—has made waves across major commercial radio markets including Adult Contemporary, Smooth AC, and Smooth Jazz, with multiple charting singles.


Her 2024 release “Reach Into My Heart” (ft. Selina Albright & Abe LaMarca) hit six charts, spent 14 weeks on the Smooth Jazz Network, and appeared on Mediabase and SmoothJazz.com. In 2023, “Faithfully LaDonna”, a tribute to Donna Summer featuring Billboard saxophonist Justin Young, vocalist Rachel Oliver-Cobbin, and once again Vernon Prout and Mike Reid, broke into the Top 40 on Smooth Jazz Network and stayed on the charts for 12 weeks. Her track “Somebody” (ft. Justin Young) also charted for 10 weeks.


Lori’s music has appeared on TV and in national media events, including The Gracie Awards and the Peabody Award-winning series American Presidents: Life Portraits. Her impactful climate change-themed music video even caught the attention of WaterBear Network (the “Netflix for environmental content”), which tapped her as a composer for upcoming projects.
