Since we know that Nessa is working on a new album, is halfway done writing it, and has been performing at shows here and there, it was only a matter of time before some live audio made its way online.
The following song is called “London”, as performed at The Hotel Cafe. Take a listen below!

Credit, although I don’t know the original source. Sorry!
It’s been very long overdue, but V-C.net finally has a new layout! I found a way to sort of convert the site over to WordPress, so I get to say so long to CuteNews! The only problem is that the HTML/links were completely stripped from the news posts in the conversion. Only the text remains now.
This site has been open since 2002, so you know that means there are a lot of posts and there’s no way I’m going to go through each and every one of them in order to put the HTML back in. Sorry! What I might do is add the HTML for the most recent posts and go from there. Nessa news has been rather slow the past year or so, so that shouldn’t be too much of a task. I’ll keep everyone posted!
I’m also going to add in the old content (after I update it) gradually. So, bear with me. This could take a while!
I’m a couple of days late on this, but Nessa attended Operation Smile’s “2009 Smile” event in NYC on Wednesday. Below are a couple of pics from the red carpet. So nice to see Nessa out hitting the red carpet events again!

It’s been relatively quiet on the Nessa front, but there is news; good news! She is working on a new album. She has a short write-up in this weekend’s USA Weekend. Here it is:
She’s working on one now. After traveling from New York to the Arctic to London and back to the USA late last year, Carlton, 28, is officially “out of my cave,” she tells us, and has written half of a new record, which she’s producing herself: “I feel in control more than ever of how I’m going to connect my music to a stranger.” Carlton, who had a huge hit with 2002’s “A Thousand Miles,” also is thinking of scoring instrumental music for films. Her inspiration? John Williams’ “Jaws” soundtrack and its famous two-note theme. “It’s always stuck with me — how music can alter the way you absorb a film.” Carlton: Scott Gries, Getty Carlton: at work on new music.
