Nikki about the album: "most songs from the White Dandelions album were born in Los Angeles, Genova, Italy and Munich, Germany over the last two years. But there are a couple of songs from the college years! The best decision was recording this work has in London and with two most imaginatively creativ producers Patrick Wood and Andreas Ollson."
Andreas Ollson is famous for producing major acts like Jason Mraz, Mary J Blige, James Morrison, Train and more, but also has done many indie music productions. Patrick is famous for his work with a YouTube wonder, Emily and the Woods, and Ryan Keen.
"The album came alive in an organic way giving the songs intimate, warm & juicy sound."
Patrick's talent for producing, recording and mixing raw intimate tracks of vocals, strings, guitars, drums and bass was perfect for Nikki's approach to this album. Patrick's productions are warm sounding and soothing to the ear. Andreas brought a lot to the table: creating layers of electronic sounds, his intuitive approach with getting the best performances out of the artist and other studio musicians, working with beats, guitars and creating palpable sound mixes.
Nikki wrote all the string arrangements, incidental instruments, warm organ sounds, pads and other peculiar sounds running throughout this record. Overall Nikki calls this album: "warm and fuzzy... down to earth and then taking a flight... zoom in and zoom out."

Released on July 4th 2012, all songs from the debut album "Revving Wings" were Remastered by Simon Heyworth - Imogen Heap, Depeche Mode, Kate Havnevik, Erasure and more and Sonovo Mastering. Remixed by Roberto Vigo in Genova, Italy and Andre Hoth in San Diego, CA. Happy to say that they now sound like they were meant to be - palpable, close up vocals and beatuiful arrangements are all balanced!!
"Passionate composer and songwriter Nikki Forova writes about simple and forgotten truths and the beauties of life. Her music is able to provoke individuals to seek true spirituality within themselves by reaching out beyond social norms or media conditioning." - Santa Monica Observer
Nikki about the album: To me, Revving Wings is a musical and lyrical expression about human nature, love, and universal balance the way I perceive it. Contrast, dynamics, breath, growth, dance-like elements and wide spectrum of emotional colors, light and dark stories are in the songwriting and the "orchestration" of "Revving Wings." This album is expressed by traditional pop/rock instruments such as piano, guitar, drums, bass. I also wanted to use strings in the way they are used in the motion pictures - I wanted to create a movie feel since every song here is a story, and film music so capably carries a listener into any emotion, feeling, life situation and makes it feel extremely real that you forget who you are, where you're from and what time it is at that moment!
Interwoven in between all of that are my favorite uniquely expressive folk instruments: Russian Balalaika, Chinese Erhu, and Accordion. Electronic elements emerge here and there throughout this work. The instruments explore in traditional and non-traditional ways - I wanted to paint pictures with them, therefore in my arrangements and musician's improvisations in the studio we went on exploring their full range and dynamics, stepping out of the norms of style and placing no limits whatsoever as to how they are used.
And now with Love I deliver to you "Revving Wings!" Most Sincerely and Musically Yours,
Nikki
