Award winning singer/songwriter Nicole Zuraitis’s new release on Dot Time Records
chronicles themes close to her heart, including an unflinching love of family and friends
delivered with a sincere spirit that finds release in eight intimate original compositions (and
two covers) which span genres. Nicole’s personal journey as an advocate for the mentally
health-challenged lays bare her feelings and emotions throughout Hive Mind. The album
questions the stigma surrounding mental health concerns as Nicole dedicates the music to
a close relative who suffers from schizophrenia. Nicole’s songs sound undeniably joyous,
performed in her kinetic style, but hold hidden truths. After hearing Hive Mind, you’d
expect nothing less.
