Nisa shares new single ‘St James Gate’

New York City-based artist, Nisa, is sharing her glistening new single, ‘St James Gate’ which arrives alongside the news of a new EP, Time To Plant Tears which is set for release on December 2. The new collection of music arrives as the latest body of work from the artist – full name Nisa Lumaj – following on from her self-released EP, Guilt Trip that arrived earlier this year.

The opening track on the EP and the lead single, ‘St James Gate’ provides a stellar introduction to the new collection. Sonically, it ebbs and flows, building from intimate guitar into a wonderful horn solo that serves to remind us of breaking free from stifled emotions.

When discussing the single, Nisa says: "I wrote ‘St. James Gate’ after reading Sally Rooney’s Normal People and feeling deeply affected by the author’s descriptions of love in private spaces. The raging horn solo and blistering shouts over the final chorus are sobering reminders of the emotional claustrophobia of hiding."
