On Repeat: Dondria Nicole`s EP 'The Day of the Don'

Months and months ago, R&B songstress Dondria Nicole dropped her newest EP simply called "The Day of the Don" the first musically offering since her debut album "Dondria vs. Phatfffat" that came out 2010.  Here`s what she had to say about the process of creating this EP: "If I could describe this 2 year journey in one word, it would be: NECESSARY. I started out lost and confused. Misunderstood. Broken. Insecure. Yearning for something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I had lost friends who no longer saw it fit to be around, I walked away from love." 

She continues: "I packed up my stuff and moved across the country to Los Angeles,  at this point my walls were so thick, Hercules couldn’t break them down. I tried to find inspiration and motivation from all the wrong people, places, and things. The art I was creating was amazing but it was at the cost of me. I was self-destructing, cut to the scene where the locks to the place I called home were changed on me, the people I called teammates stole money from me and my anxiety is at an all time high.

 The Lord stripped me of everything to remind me all I ever needed was HIM. Once in complete darkness, I started seeing the light. And that’s when God started replenishing it all piece by piece. He started rebuilding my team, showering me with inspiration and opportunity, ​ and creating a brand new Dondria. The Day of the Don is the first body of work I’ve released since 2010 and embodies every single piece of me and what I’ve been through."

  
The project consists of 6 songs that showcase her vocal growth and growth as an artist, especially “Hold Of Myself”,“2 Good” and “Over” which are the stand out tracks that display the artist that she is becoming so beautifully. Her vocal range reminds me of Kelly Rowland but with her sweet twist to it and I love the confidence she expressing throughout the EP, she has really come a long way to get to this place and will go so much further.
