Nerina Pallot Shares New Single ‘Next Life’
Brit and Ivor Novello Award-nominated musician Nerina Pallot has just shared her brand new single Next Life, the second single to be lifted from her forthcoming and as yet untitled seventh studio album.
I am a fan of Nerina Pallot’s intimate yet intense vocal delivery which is beautifully backed by lush and ethereal pianos that create such a warm and intimate atmosphere before the song explodes into a deeply emotional electronic masterpiece. Nerina is such a talented singer and songwriter and I am really enjoying how her vocals effortlessly convey the emotions of her relatable storytelling about the current times we're living in. Next Life has a captivating touch of melancholia but shares a hopeful message that things are going to get better. I am really fond of the bright synths near the end that create such an expansive and atmospheric vibe. Check it out below!
Speaking about the song, Nerina said,
‘Next Life’ is the first song I wrote for the album, but it took me a while to figure out how to record it. A few weeks into lockdown, a heavy melancholy descended - for most of us, I guess - and I found myself in the studio trying to make sense of it. While we were all stuck in our homes, spring was coming into bloom and so much of the soundscape was trying to reflect that: that even when things feel bleak and hopeless, there is always new life waiting to burst forth.
