Nina Nesbitt’s ‘Älskar’ album continued the momentum that she established with 2019’s ‘The Sun Will Come Up…’, resulting in a fresh wave of critical acclaim, stadium shows and guest performances with Coldplay, and breaking a career landmark of a billion streams. Now Nina is set to expand upon the album’s vision by releasing its Deluxe Edition on November 11th. She launches the deluxe edition by sharing the new song ‘Need You’, which features the rising south London star Zion Foster.
Nina wrote ‘Need You’ during sessions for ‘Älskar’. Stepping smoothly into the UK R&B scene, the song’s dreamy, beat-heavy atmospherics break new ground for Nina, while the soulful vocal interplay between the two artists shows that they share a natural chemistry. It was written by Nina, Jordan Riley (Ella Henderson), Steve Robson (Maisie Peters, Louis Tomlinson) and Zion Foster, and was produced by Jordan Riley and Hoskins (Khalid, PartyNextDoor).
From his modest bedroom studio in south London, Zion Foster creates songs that reach millions of fans. He uses Instagram Live to make his fans part of the creative process, with Zion also mixing and mastering his homespun productions. His current album ‘Hood Love’ raised the bar following his breakthrough ‘25/8’ mixtape, leading to support from 1XTRA, Complex, GRM Daily, KISS, Link Up TV, MTV and Radio 1. He also played a sold-out headline show at the O2 Academy2 Islington.
Nina will follow the release of the Deluxe Edition by heading out on a UK and European tour. Remaining tickets for the dates, listed below, are available HERE. The main support on the UK leg of the tour is American singer-songwriter Katelyn Tarver, and LonelyTwin (co-writer/co-producer of Nina’s ‘I Should Be A Bird’) opens on all UK dates except for Manchester, where Ruby Walvin gets the night under way.
