Following last year’s critically acclaimed ‘Aching Bones’ EP, Nadine Shah has found a new home with R&S Records imprint Apollo, who will be releasing her brand new ‘Dreary Town’ EP on 15 April 2013. Picking up where her debut left off, ‘Dreary Town’ continues the emergence of a significant talent.

Hailing from the north east town of Whitburn, yet London based, this young artist’s compositions lean towards the dramatic, with her smoky husky-hued vocals imbued with an understated unease, with a stage presence that belies her youthful age.

Lead track ‘Dreary Town’, with its plummeting melodies and anguished vocals, is the most personal of all three and the track that convinced producer Ben Hillier (The Horrors, Blur, Depeche Mode) to work with her upon hearing an early version uploaded to youtube. Closely followed by ‘Bobby Heron’ with creeping guitar strums driving a story about her great grandmothers only boy.

The new EP is topped off with the singer’s wonderfully sinister take on the jazz standard ‘Cry Me A River.’ Having begun singing it when she was a much younger singer, Nadine just loved how you could “really twist the lyric and rather than sounding like a wounded woman you can be more of madwoman seeking revenge!”

8/10 DJ Magazine
‘If all live debuts were as breathtaking as Nadine Shah’s then the walls of the music industry as we know it would crumble to dust, and in their place proud palaces of hope and beauty would spring forth.’
BBC Manchester
‘Like early Bad Seeds, searing, intense, frightening and amazing’ Notion Magazine
‘It can take just 44 seconds to fall in love. That’s the exact time it takes for Nadine Shah’s haunting croon to kick in over an ominous piano refrain on the title track of her debut EP, Aching Bones. Sounding like a young, desolate Polly Harvey, the former jazz singer delivers huge gulps of emotion over the EP’s three Ben Hillier-produced tracks.’
The Line of Best Fit
‘Channels the towering intensity of To Bring You My Love-era PJ Harvey with a hint of Philip Larkin-esque humour and the intoxicating sadness of her father’s Urdu ghazals’
