EP Review: Nick Hickman 'Let Em' Speak'

Nashville by way of Knoxville newcomer Nick Hickman made his mark on Nash Next where he landed among the top twenty contestants and is now prepared to further cement his status as one to watch with the release of his latest EP Let Em’ Speak.

Released earlier this year, Let Em’ Speak features six contemporary country tracks, four of which were written by Hickman including the EP’s well-received first single, “Tipsy.” The project opens with “Live For Tonight” a radio-ready track about living in the moment that features vocal assist from artist Camille Rae and from there, flows into the rhythmic rocker “She Rolls Outta Bed”  and the relatable and catchy “Overtime.” The EP is rounded out with “Bottle Away” which beings as a modern-flaired piano ballad before segueing into a mid-tempo tune about banishing memories of a former lover and “Deuces” where he comes to terms with the end of a relationship.
