new music: nadia nair’s ‘dear brother’ is a passionate plea for connection #soundcheck

Over lush, impossibly deep rythms, with a somehow deeper yearning, Nadia Nair’s second single “Dear Brother” is an ecstatic anthem, longing for human connection. The production nods to everything from gospel to Indian tabla to trip-hop, building layer of atmosphere upon atmosphere. While Nadia Nair’s voice sits atop the chasm, simultaneously fragile and powerful; seeming one minute like she might crack under the weight of her own existential longing, before finding strength in the same. Check out the single, which is available now on iTunes and Spotify.
