A decade after her debut EP, Canadian country powerhouse Nicole Rayy reflects on the essential markers of her career with the release of her new album Now & Then.

Celebrating the milestones that have brought her career to where it is today, each track on the album holds special meaning to pivotal moments throughout her life. “Now & Then is the perfect title for this album because it really encapsulates the stories from both my past and present,” Nicole shares. "It is a celebration of my life now (“Last Ones Up”) and how I grew up (“Feels Like Yesterday”). Many of the tracks on this album have been my biggest singles to date (“Broken Boys”) and I am very excited that they all finally have a home on one record. I am really looking forward to sharing another chapter in my story with my fans and inviting them further into my world with the release of Now & Then.”
