Nichole “Nicci” Gilbert (born July 8, 1970) is an American R&B singer. She is mainly known for being the former lead vocalist of an American female R&B girl-group Brownstone who rose to fame in the mid 1990s best known for their 1995 hit single “If You Love Me”, which was nominated for a Best R&B Performance Grammy Award. “Grapevyne” and “Pass the Lovin'” also brought them some success, as well as their rendition of “I Can’t Tell You Why”, a song originally recorded by The Eagles.
After graduating from high school, Gilbert studied music and drama at Eastern Michigan University. But she ended up dropping out after two years so that she could move to L.A. with a friend and be closer to the music industry. It was a risky move, but one that eventually paid off for her. At first, Gilbert struggled in L.A., where she appeared in various talent shows while paying her bills with non-musical “day gigs” (including a job at Taco Bell). But things started to pick up for Gilbert when, in 1993, she formed Brownstone’s original lineup with Monica Doby and Charmayne Maxwell.
Band member Monica Doby left the group due to internal strife with Gilbert and she was replaced by Kina Cosper. In 1997, Brownstone unveiled their new lineup on the trio’s second album Still Climbing released on June 24, 1997, which turned out to be their final album. The album was preceded by two singles “5 Miles to Empty” and “Kiss and Tell” to promote the album. “5 Miles to Empty” peaked at number thirty-nine on the Billboard Hot 100 but the second single failed to chart on the Hot 100. Much to the disappointment of Brownstone’s fans, the group broke up that year.
