'''''Chelsea Girl''''' is the debut solo album and second studio album by [[Nico]]. It was released in October 1967 by [[Verve Records]], also home to [[the Velvet Underground]]. The name of the album is a reference to [[Andy Warhol]]'s 1966 film ''[[Chelsea Girls]]'', in which Nico starred. It was produced by [[Tom Wilson (producer)|Tom Wilson]], who added in string and flute arrangements against the wishes of Nico.

It was released in October 1967 by [[Verve Records]] and was recorded following Nico's collaboration with [[the Velvet Underground]] on [[The Velvet Underground & Nico|their 1967 debut studio album]]. ''Chelsea Girl'' was produced by [[Tom Wilson (producer)|Tom Wilson]], who added string and flute arrangements against the wishes of Nico. The title is a reference to [[Andy Warhol]]'s 1966 film ''[[Chelsea Girls]]'', in which Nico starred.


Many of the songs on the album have instrumental work from [[The Velvet Underground]], whom Nico had previously collaborated with the year before on ''[[The Velvet Underground & Nico]]'', as well as song-writing credits from members of the band. The song "[[I'll Keep It with Mine]]", which is included on the album, was written by [[Bob Dylan]]; the album contains three songs by [[Jackson Browne]], who contributes guitar to the album.
Much of the album features instrumental work and songwriting credits from Velvet Underground members [[Lou Reed]], [[Sterling Morrison]], and [[John Cale]]. The song "[[I'll Keep It with Mine]]" was written by [[Bob Dylan]], while three songs are by [[Jackson Browne]], who contributes guitar.

After collaborating as a singer with the Velvet Underground on their debut ''[[The Velvet Underground & Nico]]'' (recorded during 1966, released in March 1967), [[Warhol superstar]] Nico toured with the band in [[Andy Warhol]]'s [[Exploding Plastic Inevitable]] (EPI) [[multimedia]] roadshow.

"Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" by Lou Reed was part of the earliest Velvet Underground repertoire (which did not surface as a Velvet Underground recording until it was included in the 1995 [[box set]] ''[[Peel Slowly and See]]''), and Reed, Cale and Morrison in various combinations contributed four more songs.

Chelsea Girl is the debut solo album and second studio album by German singer Nico. It was released in October 1967 by Verve Records and was recorded following Nico's collaboration with the Velvet Underground on their 1967 debut studio album. Chelsea Girl was produced by Tom Wilson, who added string and flute arrangements against the wishes of Nico. The title is a reference to Andy Warhol's 1966 film Chelsea Girls, in which Nico starred.

Much of the album features instrumental work and songwriting credits from Velvet Underground members Lou Reed, Sterling Morrison, and John Cale. The song "I'll Keep It with Mine" was written by Bob Dylan, while three songs are by Jackson Browne, who contributes guitar.

Background

[edit]

After collaborating as a singer with the Velvet Underground on their debut The Velvet Underground & Nico (recorded in 1966 and released in March of the following year), Warhol superstar Nico toured with the band in Andy Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable (EPI) multimedia roadshow. Before the EPI came to an end in 1967, Nico took up residence in a New York City coffeehouse as a solo folk chanteuse; accompanied in turn by guitarists, such as Tim Hardin, Jackson Browne, and also her Velvet Underground bandmates Lou Reed, Sterling Morrison and John Cale.

Composition

[edit]

Some of the accompanists wrote songs for Nico to sing, and these form the backbone of Chelsea Girl. Browne contributed "The Fairest of the Seasons", "These Days", and "Somewhere There's a Feather", while Hardin contributed "Eulogy to Lenny Bruce". "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" by Lou Reed was part of the earliest Velvet Underground repertoire (which did not surface as a Velvet Underground recording until it was included in the 1995 box set Peel Slowly and See), and Reed, Cale and Morrison in various combinations contributed four more songs. Additionally, Bob Dylan gave her one of his songs to record: "I'll Keep It with Mine".

Musically, Chelsea Girl can be described as a cross between chamber folk[1] and 1960s baroque pop.[2] The musical backing is relatively simple, consisting of one or two guitars or, alternatively, a keyboard instrument, played by either Browne or (a combination of) her Velvet Underground colleagues, but there are no drums or bass instruments, hence the absence of Velvets drummer Maureen Tucker, and adding to the chamber folk feel of the music are the string and flute overdubs added to the initial recordings by producer Tom Wilson and arranger Larry Fallon without involving or consulting Nico.

In retrospective 21st-century reviews, AllMusic described the album as "an unqualified masterpiece",[2] while Trouser Press commented that the album "is sabotaged by tepid arrangements and weak production" and is "of interest mainly for its links to the band Nico had just left."[7] Chelsea Girl is listed the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, in which Mary Boukouvalas writes: "The public were unprepared for Nico's experimental art-rock masterpieces and their melancholic ambience, and the album made little impression upon release. But its desolate beauty — and Nico's unique, provocative later work with John Cale — has fascinated subsequent generations", citing Patti Smith and Siouxsie Sioux as influenced artists.[4]

Nico was dissatisfied with the finished product. Recalling the sessions in 1981, she stated:

I still cannot listen to it, because everything I wanted for that record, they took it away. I asked for drums, they said no. I asked for more guitars, they said no. And I asked for simplicity, and they covered it in flutes! ... They added strings and – I didn't like them, but I could live with them. But the flute! The first time I heard the album, I cried and it was all because of the flute.[8]

Two tracks from the album – "The Fairest of the Seasons" and "These Days" – were used in Wes Anderson's 2001 film The Royal Tenenbaums.

The song "Wrap Your Troubles in Dreams" was used in Andrew Dominik's 2012 film Killing Them Softly.
