Indie Pop from Nadia Kazmi

Originally hailing from Calgary in Canada and now based in New York City, Nadia Kazmi is an indie pop artist making waves in the Brooklyn music scene and beyond. Blending elements of hook-driven pop writing with touches of indie rock sonic aesthetic, she crafts a fiercely original sound capped by her beautifully soaring vocal delivery.

Instantly catchy and deeply grooving, her music offers a refreshing take on modern popular music with an authentic and relatable connection forged between the artist and her listeners via her reflective lyricism. Often framing her compositions by contrasting cinematic and melancholic energy with an overall optimistic outlook, she’s gained a loyal fanbase over the years.

Making her introduction in 2009, she released her debut five-track EP Arrival which she’s since followed up with a string of well-received artistic works. Now showcasing the next chapter of her musical journey, she’s been dropping a series of post-pandemic singles in the build up to her new upcoming record set to be released early next year.

Bringing us her brand new single, she shares the new song “Manufactured Dream”, the second single and title track from her forthcoming album. Taking aim at the current social media dominated landscape of instant – and hollow – gratification, and the vanity and narcissism it encourages, her new single follows the story of a woman and man in the modern world.

Kicked off with a swaggering funk style verse, the song then erupts with a stark rhythm shift to deliver a euphoric chorus led by her powerful vocals. Linking up with Brooklyn-based producer Mike Abiuso, on “Manufactured Dream” Nadia Kazmi lays down a stunning indie pop anthem with an important message and serves to build further excitement for her next full-length release.
