澳洲女歌手妮基．派洛特在日本VENUS唱片發行的專輯熱賣的程度眾所皆知，這張新的專輯集合了多部好萊塢經典電影的主題曲，包括《北非諜影》、《往日情懷》、《窈窕淑女》、《第凡內早餐》、《綠野仙蹤》、《摩登時代》等。除了妮基自己演奏貝斯之外，來助陣的紐約音樂家有恰克．瑞德的鐵琴、肯．皮普洛斯的薩克斯風及豎笛、鋼琴家約翰．迪．馬替農、鼓手艾文．亞金斯，與妮基．派洛特姐姐麗莎．派洛特的薩克斯風及上低音號。
2000年6月，她在吉他傳奇樂手雷斯．保羅開設的酒吧當常駐貝斯手，每個禮拜一都與高齡超過九十歲的雷斯．保羅共同登台演出，吸引了許多樂迷。雷斯．保羅是妮基重要的朋友兼導師，也是第一個要求她開口歌唱的人。在保羅的三重奏底下，妮基幸運的有與保羅．麥卡尼、SLASH、史蒂夫．米勒、吉他大師湯米．艾曼紐一起演出的機會，磨練出她對演譯不同音樂曲風情感的撑握。
