About 'My Bile' and '9 Sad Symphonies'
Of the new single, Nash said: "'My Bile' is about being at your wits' end and having nothing left to give to society's expectation of you, and I guess reassessing past behaviors and current priorities."
"You know you're on empty when you're spewing up bile," she continued. "I've realized I need more reserves for myself. I'm at a point in my life where I want to say 'no' to things and 'no' to people. And I'm in my mid-30s, so if I don't do that I end up with an injury or a migraine."
Nash added that, at this point in her life, she has now built and knows herself as a "hardworking and compassionate person" who deserves good company and someone trustworthy when it comes to setting up boundaries.
"Life throws surprises at you too, so you have to accept you can't control all of it, but not everyone's invited to my birthday party anymore," said Nash. "If I've got cake, I'm saving slices for the best, not for the masses."
Such emotionally potent songs are what her listeners can expect in her upcoming "9 Sad Songs" record. That said, Nash moves away from her more "angry" releases in recent times and delves deeper into the inspiration she gets from old Hollywood and vintage musicals.
In line with both of these genres' conventions, the album is filled with lush string arrangements that can be heard in her opener: "Millions Of Heartbeats," whilst still flexing her tongue-in-cheek lyrical ability, as heard in her follow-up track: "Space Odyssey 2001."
Comprising 10 enchanting songs in total, the album emerges as a deeply layered quest to find beauty in a chaotic world. "9 Sad Symphonies" is now available for pre-save and pre-order by clicking here.
