Nell Mescal unveils her deeply personal demo, ‘Thin‘ today. After teasing the track for months with snippets on socials and intimate acoustic sets across the UK, it’s become a firm favourite. With overwhelming reactions from fans, Nell decided to gift them the track early, as she works on new material. Listen to ‘Thin’ HERE. Nell recently spoke to Nylon during her latest visit to New York where she played two sold-out shows at Baby’s All Right. Read her interview here.
‘Thin’ confronts the dark, damaging thoughts about body image and self-worth. Nell explains, “Thin is about body image and equating what you look like to what your worth is when it comes to love. It was a really difficult song to write and to confront, and comes from all my darkest and most untrue thoughts about myself.” She continues, “The ultimate message of the song and what I hope people get from listening to it is that these thoughts aren’t true, but that doesn’t make the emotions any less real and that you are enough as you are.”
This marks Nell’s first release since her debut EP Can I Miss It For A Minute?, a collection exploring themes of growing up, moving on, and the tug-of-war between past pain and present emotions. Her cathartic singles, Killing Time and Warm Body set the stage for the EP, which sold out in less than an hour on exclusive vinyl and CD. You can stream it digitally here.
Following sold-out debut headline shows in New York last month, a support slot with Dermot Kennedy at Misneach Festival in Boston, and a string of intimate acoustic performances, Nell is gearing up for a busy summer. She’s been added to a number of festivals and will support Robbie Williams at Newcastle’s Come Together Festival on June 4th. Plus, a UK tour is in the works for later this year. Tickets for all on-sale dates are available here.
“I’m beyond excited for what’s to come,” says Nell. “I have lots of new music that I’m currently working on, which will be out soon. I’ll be playing festivals this summer and working on a run of headline shows for you all later in the year ❤️”
Nell’s relentless live presence has made her a force on the circuit. She’s graced festivals like Latitude, All Points East, and Electric Picnic, while also supporting major acts such as HAIM, Florence & The Machine, Dermot Kennedy, and The Last Dinner Party. Her January 2024 UK tour sold out in a flash, where Nell and her band performed EP tracks for the first time.
With praise from the likes of i-D, The New York Times, Vogue, NME, Radio 1 and a nomination at the Rolling Stone UK Awards, Nell is making waves with every new release. Catch Nell and her band at festivals across the summer and keep your ears peeled for new music in the coming months.
