'Chelsea Girl' is Nico's first solo album and my personal favourite of hers. Nico hated the album when it was released because in post production they added violins and flutes to her songs. This was the album Nico made before she became all dark and eerie in her music so the songs on this are sweet and melancholy. My favourite song on this album is the title track "Chelsea Girls", a song about the tragic denizens of the Chelsea Hotel and their lives and deaths. It's a shockingly beautiful track. Other great songs are "These Days", "The Fairest Of The Seasons" and "Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams". Nico may not have liked the album but I adore it and her deep crooning German accented voice is beautiful. 5/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: Chelsea Girls, These Days, The Fairest Of The Seasons, It Was A Pleasure Then, I'll Keep It With Mine, Somewhere There's A Feather & Wrap Your Troubles In Dreams.
