Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Dwight and Nicole plan to release an EP on New Year’s Day.

And Dwight & Nicole are going to ensure that trend continues into the new year.

The Boston-based blues-rock-soul trio has announced plans to release their new EP, “Electric Lights,” on New Year’s Day.

Meanwhile, they just released “Hi-Lo,” the second single from the EP, and are preparing the accompanying music video.

Dwight & Nicole consists of Nicole Nelson, a Season 3 contestant on The Voice, pre-show collaborator Dwight Ritcher and drummer Ezra Oklan.

You can check out the new single below. This weekend, Dwight & Nicole are donating 100 percent of the proceeds from sales to the ACLU.

They’ll also be featured at a Boston Stands with the ACLU show tonight (Nov. 18) in Cambridge, Mass.

You can find out more about that show and the band through their website and Facebook page.

“Hi-Lo” is the second song released from “Electric Lights.” “Wait,” featuring Nicole on vocals, dropped over the summer.

“Electric Lights” will be the first major release for “Dwight & Nicole” since 2016’s “The Rear Windows Session.”
