Nicholas Mrozinski

"This music draws you in, and keeps you fixated from the first note. It's like falling in love with music all over again."
Matthew R. Perrine - Budgeteer News


“A Chosen One...Mrozinski lets the listener know that he cares and does so with a special enamor...all told through his Magnetizing and Global Voice”
Kaleb Bronson - Rift Magazine


"Simply brilliant. Beautiful, powerful energy."
Brian Johnson - (Founder) - PhilosophersNotes - Zaadz/Gaia


"Nicholas Mrozinski’s 4th studio album displays a marked maturity that takes years to cultivate. From the first track, “Window Of Sage”, to the markedly-understated finale, “Della Jean”, Together We’re Stronger is one of the deeper and more introspective albums that I have heard recently.

The album is beautifully-crafted, and features a mastery of build-ups and break-downs reminiscent of recent Jack Johnson albums.

Mrozinski’s voice, nestled somewhere in between tenor and baritone, channels the sincerity of Ray LaMontagne and mixes it with the playfulness of Jason Mraz.

This album makes my short list of best local releases of 2009."
Toby Cryns - Lunch of Champions


"Mrozinski is just a terrific composer. The fact that he could string together so many wonderful moments on one disc just blows the mind.

Unless his songwriting keeps evolving at this impossible-to-maintain rate, this record will most likely go down in the books as his “Pet Sounds.” It moves effortlessly from lush, gorgeous numbers like “Easter and Keeko” and “What’s This?” to ones like “Predictable” and “And You Will,” which benefit from light programming flourishes.

“Together We’re Stronger” is all at once expansive and as inviting as the cheek grooves in your sofa.

Like Wilco did with “Summer Teeth,” Mrozinski is starting to come out of his shell, and it’s really a marvelous thing."

"...groovy Little Feat jams bumping up against Dave Matthews-ish feel-good choruses... Mrozinski's John Hiatt-like howl and bouncy piano keep things flowing..."
Chris Riemenschneider - Star Tribune


"Mrozinski assembled a small army of collaborators from local bands like the Big Wu, God Johnson, the Root City Band and Down Lo to help record his new album, "Together We're Stronger." The result is a loose and likeable disc that's sure to find an appreciative audience..."
Ross Raihala - Pioneer Press

"Nicholas "the feelin" Mrozinski isn't just a breath of fresh air. He's like the first breath of air after emerging from the deep end of the pool."
- Hodo Dispatch

"Saint Paul, Minnesota's Nicholas Mrozinski lost over one hundred pounds since his last album, acquiring a world of new energy and perspective. Mrozinski channeled both into his newest project, Together We're Stronger, with the help of some of the best and brightest of the Minneapolis music scene. Together We're Stronger features Mrozinski's signature voice and far-reaching influences in a project that can be downright confounding but also produces flashes of genius.

There are some great moments here...

Mrozinski brings a Joe Cocker air to Together We're Stronger, opening with the Country/Americana flavored "Window Of Sage." It's a song about stripping away the things that slow us down on the path of life, getting back to the basics that sustain us. The song develops into a lyrically dense bit of musical poetry, including a big, warm chorus that works in horns, guitar, bass, keys and some strong vocal harmonies in the background.

"Easter And Keeko" takes stock of the important things in a Van Morrison-esque Folk-Rocker with just a hint of edge. This is a joyous song, although in the subdued persona Mrozinski projects.

"What's This" allows Mrozinski to show off his soulful side, with a strong R&B style tune with distinctive Country undertones. This is a great tune that will get stuck inside your noggin and refuse to leave.

"Above All Else" is a sorrowful song of devotion that underscores the need to seize the moment. The song drips emotion without sounding cliché as Mrozinski's big, textured voice takes the helm of the melody and drives it home.

"Queen Of The Angels" tries to loosely recreate an urban soundscape underscore by a funky bass line that makes you want to get up and move. There's a vaguely psychedelic feel to the song that all includes a spiritual element to it. This is one of the more intriguing compositions on the disc as Mrozinski plays with sounds grandly throughout the song, all thrown up against a light Reggae beat."

"...an organic, collaborative creation from production to packaging

Mrozinski’s music is more suited for sunshine-filled afternoons where the birds are awake and the sounds of the world are alive to sing harmony..."
