1967 saw Nichelle capitalise on the success of Star Trek and release Down to Earth a collection of standards, which don’t get us wrong is perfectly nice. However it was 1991 when Nichelle released Out of This World – a collection of dance, pop and soul numbers centered around the concept of Star Trek.
Out of This World is a delight to connoisseurs of trash, but will most likely disgust your average Star Trek fan. Everything down from the marvelously sleazy cover to cheap sentimental ballads about Gene Roddenberry is a true delight. We’d go as far as to say the title track is a camp masterpiece, showcasing Nichelle’s smooth vocals against synth-pop instrumentation. Stunning! Now if only George Takei would make a slutty dance album.
You can hear You’re Out Of This World in all its glory below.
