Nichole has co-written "Ashes" with Mark Hammond which American Idol alumnus Clay Aiken recorded on his recently released CD, "On My Way Home."

That is cool. I am not a fan of Clay Aiken but it is great to see that Nichole Nordeman and Mark Hammond came together to co-write a song for Clay Aiken.

I'm not a fan of Clay's either, I passed the news on so that people can find out what Nichole's been up to.  Due to the popularity of Clay, Nichole and Mark will end up receiving quite a bit of royalty money.

Ashes is a great song, but I'd prefer if Nichole were to record it herself.

Awesome!

Is her website in face only?  Why don't they post this stuff on her website! UGH! 

 

Here is clay singing it on youtube

"Ashes" by Clay Aiken (lyrics)

Brightman, I bet this makes you glad I joined the forum.

It looks like good lyrics to that song. I just think Nichole Nordeman would be a better singer than Clay Aiken to sing this song called Ashes.

Nichole would be the best singer for anything she writes, although she has once stated that she is semi-retired and no longer performing for now and focusing on songwriting.  I'd still like her to get recording again.  I want a new CD from her.

She is semi-retired? I guess that just means writing songs for other artists like Clay Aiken but I would love her to get back to recording a new album as I would love to hear new music from her

I agree that she should sing her own songs ( my own selfishness here).  Although, the trio she did with Selah (glory) was quite good!

I'm not a fan of the claymister but the lyrics are fantastic, I just don't think he has the stature or maturity to pull off the song, JMO.

I agree with you brightman

I also agree with Brightman :)
