Brand new single from Nelda

London-based singer-songwriter and educator Nelda has for years been charming audiences with her original and emotive music since her debut single “Idnlybily” in 2020. Not only is she a talented vocalist and pianist, but her gift for songwriting has consistently showcased her ability to blend heartfelt lyricism with enchanting melodies.

Her first full-length album, Let Me Rise, released in 2021, was a thirteen-track journey that truly confirmed her status as a rising star in the UK music scene and beyond. After a hiatus, Nelda returns with a renewed creative spark and an ambitious new project; a concept album about voluntary displacement, set to release later this month.

This project is a pioneering and ambitious undertaking that showcases the depth of her creativity, collaborative spirit, and meaningful artistic vision. Drawing inspiration from interviews with foreign songwriters based in London, each track on the album is co-written with these songwriters, along with two solo pieces from Nelda herself, piecing together a collection of diverse experiences and cultural backgrounds. The album features voices from Brazil, Nigeria, Argentina, Australia, Slovakia, Italy, Bangladesh, Ukraine, Greece, Cyprus and Latvia, creating a truly global musical work.

Nelda first unveiled this new project with the single “Everything Is Scary,” co-written with Italian songwriter Viola Ugolini. She followed this up with “Home Is Where I Go,” a collaboration with Australian songwriter Etoile Marley.

Now, she brings us the third offering from the upcoming album with her brand new single, “Inbetween Two Worlds.” This pop-focused jazz tune is a pivotal piece in Nelda’s new project, providing the initial spark that kickstarted the idea and sees Nelda deliver her own interpretation of the album’s context entirely in her own voice.

“Inbetween Two Worlds” perfectly distils the ethos behind her latest endeavour. Set against an upbeat jazz groove, driven by the splashy shuffle of drums, bright piano tones and smooth bass lines, Nelda’s expressive vocals serve up lively melodies to craft a sound that’s soothing and exciting in equal measure. The perfect display of her talents as a singer-songwriter as well as capturing the concept of voluntary displacement that threads throughout the album, “Inbetween Two Worlds” is the latest taste of the upcoming record that fans can expect to drop towards the end of this month.
