From exceeding a billion streams to being championed by Taylor Swift and playing shows with everyone from Coldplay to Stevie Nicks, Nina Nesbitt’s career has taken her from highlight to highlight -with her most recent being the release of ‘Mountain Music’ last year. Hailed by Clash as “her most personal statement yet”, it received 4* reviews in The Times and The Sun (Something For The Weekend) and hit #1 on the October 2024 Official Folk UK Albums Chart. Today, she announces that the deluxe edition ‘Mountain Music (The Summit)’ will be released on 21st February 2025 via her new independent label Apple Tree Records.
The new deluxe edition features four new tracks including ‘The Mountain & The Man’, ‘Crooked Teeth’, ‘Good Years’, and new single ‘Enough’ which is out now. Each track will be accompanied by a new live session video at Middle Farm Studios as part of the Mountain Music Sessions.
Nina says about the deluxe edition, “I’m so excited to be releasing a new edition of Mountain Music this February. Mountain Music (The Summit) includes 4 brand new songs that I wrote shortly after delivering the album. These songs explore different topics from the initial album drop and are some of my favourites yet. I’ll be releasing ‘Enough’ as the first song you’ll hear which is all about learning to accept yourself in a society that makes it near impossible. It feels like the perfect way to start the year.”
Last week, Nina Nesbitt also shared a special release for fans as she shares her take on Scotland’s beloved ‘Caledonia’. Widely requested by fans since she posted a teaser on socials, the track comes as Nina prepares to perform as part of BBC Scotland’s Burns Night celebrations on January 25th.
‘Mountain Music’ is a record in which authenticity flows through every moment. Its impetus was a moment of crisis: Nina had become overwhelmed by the need to be always active on social media and realised it was a huge distraction from her songwriting. So instead she paused and went back to basics. What emerged was a set of songs which were informed by the Americana and folk music that she has always loved. Their narratives also became more personal than ever. She reflected on everything that has happened in her life: growing up in a small Scottish village, breaking into music while living in the bustle ofLondon, and now looking back at all of her life experiences from her new home in the countryside.
The album’s organic, resonant feel also comes from a recording process which placed a sharper focus on the importance of live performances. Accompanied by a band of musicians, Nina and Peter Miles produced sessions at Middle Farm Studios in Devon, with Peter completing the record with mixing and mastering.
Last night Nina attended the Americana Music Awards UK, where she was nominated for Album of the Year for last year’s acclaimed ‘Mountain Music’ and for Song of the Year for ‘Pages’. She will also join Americana Music Week for the in-depth conversation event ‘A Journey To Americana’ on January 21st, in which she will discuss the influence of the genre on her ever-evolving sound.
