NISA SEVER

Nisa has dropped her latest single, ‘Sever’, in advance of her Exaggerate EP, which drops on September 30th, 2022. It’s an interesting track that shows off a range of influences. The opening sections are defined by glitching beats and warm pop production, but the addition of a crunchy guitar towards the end starts taking the song towards indie territory. No matter where it is in the track, however, her voice shimmers constantly. She describes the single as “a meditation on an end that needed to be permanent in order for healing to begin. I wanted the acoustic guitar and reed synth to feel like emotional foils to the rest of the track, until the instrumentation ruptures in the last chorus, representing me finally letting go.” Check out Exaggerate when it drops and make sure to catch Nisa live on October 4th, 2022. -Dan Peeke.
