Fresh from the oven, brooding Whitburn-based singer/songwriter Nadine Shah has revealed the intriguing title-track from her forthcoming new album Kitchen Sink. Opening sparsely, Shah's commanding vocal is powerful as she delivers the contrastingly humorous lyrics. Ominous piano strikes meet earthy hand claps to pick up the momentum in the second verse as bursts of metallic guitar work interrupt the flow, conjuring memories of The Birthday Party's Rowland S. Howard. Speaking of 'Kitchen Sink' Shah explains, "I love kitchen sink dramas and it felt like a fitting backdrop for this character of the outsider to exist within. You can imagine them entering their new neighbourhood, walking the street and one by one, the residents poking their noses through their curtains to get a good look at this person from elsewhere...I see a hell of a lot of curtain twitching these days, during lockdown, but always coupled with a smile or a wave." Kitchen Sink will arrive on the 5th of June. -Holly Mullineaux
