One time Shine girl gets ready to go solo

ONE TIME member of Shine, Nicki Rogers, is currently hard at work with producer Andy Harsant at Alliance Music's Banbury studio. Tony Cummings, who saw her perform at a recent industry bash, reports that "this is a million miles from teen pop. Nicki's songs have a Fiona Apple, Tori Amos kind of vibe and are quite beautiful".
