London-based singer-songwriter has announced that she’ll be releasing her brand new ‘Dreary Town’ EP on April 15th - and has unveiled the video to it’s title track.
Picking up where her debut left off, ‘Dreary Town’ continues the emergence of a significant talent. The single is a dark romantic narrative and has now been accompanied by a brililiant Matthew Barton-directed video which you can check out below. The beautiful, desaturated film uses Shah's real life friends – except for the male protagonist, played by actor Gareth Murphy – to weave this very personal tale.
With its plummeting melodies and anguished vocals, it’s 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.
“He died at sea,” Nadine reveals. “My great gran was obviously distraught but even more so because she couldn't bury her little boy. There was this clairvoyant in our hometown, a blind guy everyone knew. She went to see him and he told her exactly where the body was. That night my great grandad went out in his fishing boat. Sure enough the body was where they'd been told it would be, and with a grappling hook he retrieved Bobby's body. My mam and Aunty always tell that story. I wrote the song for my mum really, I wanted to ensure that her tale lived on.”
You can check out the track below - look out for the EP when it hits shelves in April!
