more trippy is putting it mildly! nicolette is much more wispy vocally, and

tends toward really unusual (bizarre) arrangements on her own stuff. i've
always had a really hard time w/her voice. someone i like a lot more that
takes those same kinds of chances, and occasionally reminds me of billie
(more in spirit than in sound) is jhelisa (anderson, cousin of carleen, ? of
pamela "no, not baywatch" anderson).
