New Zealand singer/songwriter Nadia Reid has announced her first album in five years, Enter Now Brightness, the followup to 2020’s Out of My Province. It comes out February 7 via her new label home of Chrysalis Records (pre-order), and it follows Nadia moving to the UK and giving birth to her first two children, Elliotte and Goldie. According to a press release, “Reid was pregnant during its creation, and plagued by morning sickness — there are photos of her asleep on the studio sofa and memories of vomiting between takes. But she found impending motherhood, and, later, the intricate process of raising her daughter, brought a new focus for songwriting.”
Nadia made the album with her long-standing guitarist Sam Taylor and producer Tom Healy, and the first taste is “Baby Bright,” a sentimental piano ballad inspired by her first daughter. Nadia says, “When my first daughter was born she had these massive bright blue eyes – she still does. And when she was born I did have this really intense drive to create – I felt very invigorated. Everything felt sharper and accessible and it all came to the surface.” Listen and watch the video below.
