The Chocolate Bar happened to be the second stop for Nikki Jean during her Living Room Tour when it happened to reach Atlanta. The previous night was a success at Agnes Scott College, and I hoped this one would be as well. Showtime was 9, and we were all waiting in patience.
The DJ provided a mixture of tunes throughout the wonderful night, there was not one spot of music that was not touched on the wiki wiki. He set the mood of the night with the first few sounds heard from the speakers being smooth soulful tunes...Happened to give the whole night a nice, calm setting. Much love.
The first performer happened to be a talented poet that had strong words to share with the crowd. He seemed to capture the crowd more, and more as the words came out. With the last line, the crowd showed their appreciation towards him as everyone applauded.
Next up happened to be the much talented Zamir Green. He happened to provide comic relief, and not to be outdone by the poet before him, his own thoughts to share with the crowd.
The talent continued to flow throughout the night with a Junior from MoreHouse whose weapon of choice happened to be the guitar, and his voice. The story of choice for me happened to be the song he wrote about his ex, loved every word.
Things seemed to start moving slowly when Nikki Jean took the podium. I expected to hear melodies, but was surprised to hear her induce the crowd with each word she chose to speak. I witnessed one more talent that Nikki Jean happened to have.
As she took a seat, and started interacting with the crowd, magic was produced. Nikki Jean shared the song that caught the attention of many people, Hip-Hop Saved My Life. Every song had a special story that was shared along with it for the audience to enjoy. With each song passing, and story told, I caught the feeling that we were watching her journey as an artist & a song writer from start...to the finishing of her record. The center of attention of the night was Nikki Jean...and she stole the hearts of many with each melody. I walked out of the concert feeling as if I owed her so much after her performance, thinking.... I have to buy at least 20 copies, and the unique "Pennies In A Jar" T-Shirt. It is really hard not to love Nikki Jean.
