April 23, 2024 – New York, NY: Nadine Shah’s fifth album Filthy Underneath was released on February 23 as the inaugural release on EMI North. Following lead singles ‘Topless Mother’ and ‘Greatest Dancer’ – which went straight onto the BBC 6 Music A-List, she has today shared a new single ‘Even Light’, in which Nadine sounds like someone squinting before a slide show of images from her own fever dreams, unable to slow down the velocity of what confronts her.
She explains, “Even Light is talking to your inner child. I’ve had to do a lot of that.”
Nadine will undertake her full UK headline tour starting this month into May with sold out dates including a show at London’s Heaven on 2 May as well as Newcastle, Manchester, and Glasgow, before beginning a festival season run at Cheltenham Jazz Festival followed by Future Now, Big City 2024, Krankenhaus Festival and more.
Listen to ‘Even Light‘ on YouTube:
Three years might seem like a prolonged absence to some people, but it’s also a period of time in which the apparatus that holds your world in place can be dismantled and reassembled so that you can keep living, keep creating. Filthy Underneath chronicles a period of unprecedented turbulence in Nadine Shah’s life.
And yet, the experience of listening to it is oddly life-affirming – a parade of ghosts spanning the entirety of Nadine’s thirty-seven years, moving with balletic beauty to the music that Nadine and long-time co-writer and producer Ben Hillier have created around them, with renewed emphasis on placing melody and movement front and center.
