Nadine Shah‘s fifth album Filthy Underneath will be released on 23 February as the inaugural release on EMI North. Following lead single ‘Topless Mother‘ – which went straight onto the BBC 6Music A-List – she has today shared the second single to be taken from the album, ‘Twenty Things’. Following her recent sold out preview show at London‘s Lower Third, Nadine has also today announced a full UK headline tour for April/May 2024 with dates including a show at London‘s Heaven on 2 May as well as Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham. Full dates and tickets can be found below.
Speaking of ‘Twenty Things’ Nadine says:
“It’s a love letter of sorts, to the people I met whilst in recovery. No-one tells you that you’ll end up feeling so deeply for the people you meet there. What makes it more intense is the fact that you know, statistically, that not everyone is going to make it once they’ve left the place. Some of the most unspeakable things had happened to these people and equally some of the most heinous things were done by them. You’re supposed to love the sinner and hate the sin. I loved them all.”
Three years might seem like a prolonged absence to some people, but it’s also a period of time in which the apparatus that holds your world in place can be dismantled and reassembled so that you can keep living, keep creating. Filthy Underneath chronicles a period of unprecedented turbulence in Nadine Shah’s life. And yet, the experience of listening to it is oddly life-affirming – a parade of ghosts spanning the entirety of Nadine’s thirty-seven years, moving with balletic beauty to the music that Nadine and long-time co-writer and producer Ben Hillier have created around them, with renewed emphasis on placing melody and movement front and centre.
