from Trans​-​Formations live - a Brilliant and Dark remix album (2012), released September 1, 2016
By Nichola Richards and Kelly Thompson. Sing a Lullaby is the first creative collaboration between singer-songwriters Nichola Richards and Kelly Thompson. Having enjoyed singing together in Ellen Southern's Of The Brilliant And The Dark, it felt natural to join forces again to create a remix piece in homage to it when the chance arose. The phrase 'Sing a Lullaby' rang out to them as a poignant starting point. And the result is a lilting and layered piece combining a longing and grief for the past with a gradual letting go of it - wishing farewell to days gone by and warmly welcoming the new dawn.

After winning Choice FM’s Rapology young artist competition in 2000, Nichola recorded a demo courtesy of Sony Columbia. This introduced her to the music industry at a young age. Since then, she has continued to develop her musical knowledge, studying jazz piano and guitar. She has performed in many jam sessions across London and has graced the stage at Ronnie Scotts, Boisdale, Proud Cabaret and the Jazz Cafe. Hugely influenced by soul, blues, jazz as well as reggae, folk, hip hop and pop, Nichola is currently working on the release of her EP.

Relatively new to the London music scene, Kelly has attended musicianship courses run by acclaimed jazz singer Laura Zakian at Morley College and Goldmiths, as well as performing as part of her jazz choir. She has also done extensive sound work with, and recorded under the guidance of, singer-songwriter Sarah Warwick. Constantly amazed by the emotional and transformative power of music, and heavily influenced by blues, jazz, funk, folk and pop, Kelly hopes to continue writing, performing and exploring her voice at every given opportunity on the London circuit.
