LP – Limited EditionTransparent Green Vinyl.

Nina Nesbitt is set to take her continuing rising star status to the next level with the release of her eagerly anticipated new albumlskar. Made in the show of the introspection, loss and fear of lockdown,lskarcelebrates life in all of its complexities as well as love in every form imaginable. As weve heard from its previous singles Dinner Table and When You Lose Someone, lskar (meaning to love in Swedish, a reflection of Ninas half-Swedish heritage) shimmers with both tender, intimate ballads and huge escapist 80s-tinged bangers that beg for the dancefloor.

The new single Pressure Makes Diamonds is one of the albums brightest moments, all refined alt-pop sparkle and alluring effervescent melodies which are capped by Ninas quick-flowing freestyle vocal. Its a song of contrasts. Its sound is immediately catchy and fun, but it expresses a powerful message: the stereotypical expectations that so many young women are expected to conform to as they reach their mid-twenties. Nina wrote the song with its producers Jack & Coke (Charli XCX, Tove Lo) and the Swedish artist SHY Martin. It was then mixed by the award-winning Manon Grandjean (Stormzy, Dave).

In addition to the singles,lskarintroduces highlights at every turn. The early landmark moment Teenage Chemistry celebrates Ninas current long-term relationship with beat-driven dreamy elegance and the instantly relatable lyrics. It then journeys through the minimalist ambient pop of No Time (For My Life To Suck), an intimate, acoustic arrangement on I Should Be A Bird, and cinematic balladeering with Colours of You. By the time the album closes with the gorgeously glacial title track, its evident that Nina Nesbitt has created an album that primes her for a much bigger future.
