Danielle Nicole Shares New Single "Take Me Back" Featuring Luther Dickinson Ahead of Fireflies
​

Grammy-nominated artist and 10-time Blues Music Award winner Danielle Nicole has released her new single, "Take Me Back," featuring North Mississippi Allstars guitarist Luther Dickinson. The track serves as the latest preview of her forthcoming album, Fireflies, due Aug. 28 via 40 Below Records.

Built on a swampy groove that fuses blues, soul and Southern roots, "Take Me Back" reflects on Nicole's upbringing in western Missouri. Anchored by Dickinson's signature guitar work, the song revisits the back porches, railroad tracks and coal fires of her childhood while honoring her late brother and longtime bandmate, Kris. The recording carries an added emotional weight with the inclusion of Kris' drum kit.

"'Take Me Back' is about remembering where you come from," Nicole says. "Those places, those people and those memories become part of who you are forever."

Fireflies marks Nicole's fourth solo album and was recorded live to analog tape in Kansas City with producer Tony Braunagel, guitarist Brandon Miller and keyboardist Jim Pugh. The collection blends blues, classic soul and Americana while exploring themes of loss, resilience, empowerment and hope.

Written largely in the aftermath of her brother's passing, Fireflies finds Nicole broadening her collaborative songwriting without losing sight of the musical roots that shaped her. The album pairs deeply personal storytelling with groove-driven performances, delivering what may be some of the strongest songwriting of her career.
