NINA NESBITT DELUXE EDITION ‘MOUNTAIN MUSIC (THE SUMMIT)’ IS OUT NOW

**** The Times 

“New album ‘Mountain Music’ might just be her most personal statement yet” – Clash

From exceeding a billion streams to being championed by Taylor Swift and playing shows with everyone from Coldplay to Stevie Nicks, Nina Nesbitt’s career has taken her from highlight to highlight -with her most recent being the release of ‘Mountain Music’ last year. Hailed by Clash as “her most personal statement yet”, it received 4* reviews in The Times and The Sun (Something For The Weekend), was nominated for two Americana Music Awards UK and hit #1 on the October 2024 Official Folk UK Albums Chart. Currently on an arena tour with Snow Patrol, Nina now releases the deluxe edition ‘Mountain Music (The Summit)’ via her independent label Apple Tree Records. Listen HERE.

The new deluxe edition features four new tracks including the BBC Radio 2 supported ‘Enough’, ‘The Mountain & The Man’, ‘Good Years’ and new fan favourite ‘Crooked Teeth’ – a song which reminds you to lean into your relationships despite their flaws and through all of life’s challenges. Each track is accompanied by a new live session video at Middle Farm Studios as part of the Mountain Music Sessions.

Nina says about the deluxe edition, “I’m so excited to be releasing ‘Mountain Music (The Summit)’ edition today. It includes 4 brand new songs that I wrote shortly after delivering the album. These songs explore different topics from the initial album drop and are some of my favourites yet. ‘Enough’ explores self-esteem, ‘The Mountain & The Man’ and ‘Crooked Teeth’ are lyrical love songs interwoven with nature and nostalgia, and Good Years is a big building track about changing your perspective on a failed relationship with someone. It feels like the perfect next stop on our journey, and I can’t wait to share these songs with everyone.”

‘Mountain Music’ is a record in which authenticity flows through every moment. Its impetus was a moment of crisis: Nina had become overwhelmed by the need to be always active on social media and realised it was a huge distraction from her songwriting. So instead she paused and went back to basics. What emerged was a set of songs which were informed by the Americana and folk music that she has always loved. Their narratives also became more personal than ever. She reflected on everything that has happened in her life: growing up in a small Scottish village, breaking into music while living in the bustle ofLondon, and now looking back at all of her life experiences from her new home in the countryside.

The album’s organic, resonant feel also comes from a recording process which placed a sharper focus on the importance of live performances. Accompanied by a band of musicians, Nina and Peter Miles produced sessions at Middle Farm Studios in Devon, with Peter completing the record with mixing and mastering.

Nina Nesbitt also recently shared a special release for fans with her take on Scotland’s beloved ‘Caledonia’ which she performed as part of BBC Scotland’s Burns Night. Last month, Nina also attended the Americana Music Awards UK, where she was nominated for Album of the Year for ‘Mountain Music’ and Song of the Year for ‘Pages’.  She also joined Americana Music Week for the in-depth conversation event ‘A Journey To Americana’.
