Scottish artist Nina Nesbitt releases the deluxe edition of her critically acclaimed US debut album, The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change, which has gone on to amass more than HALF-A-BILLION combined global streams and continues to garner more than 25 million streams per month. The very special 29-song deluxe edition, titled The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change & The Flowers Will Fall is out now via Cooking Vinyl. The album compiles the much-loved original album, which featured hit singles including ‘Loyal To Me,’ ‘The Best You Had’, ‘Somebody Special,’ ‘Is It Really Me You’re Missing’ and ‘Colder,’ with a host of new and rare material, including lead track ‘Black & Blue,’ which NYLON Magazine hailed as “an anthem for anyone who can’t get out of their own head,” and has already racked-up more than 4 million streams worldwide. Continuing Nina’s talent
for openly exploring issues of vulnerability within her music, the
track’s sleek electronic-tinged spin on modernist alt-pop is a natural
fit for the original album’s sonic approach.
Also included on the album, Nina’s intimate, torch song approach to Britney Spears’ ‘Toxic’ which has become a staple of her recent live shows and two previously unreleased songs, ‘Ungrateful’ and current focus track, “Still Waiting To Start,” an infectious indie-electro jam that retains the pop sound that is synonymous with Nina’s writing.
Speaking about the new song, Nina reveals “Still Waiting To Start is
the last song I wrote for the extended album. A simple, stripped back
guitar based song about getting older and treasuring time more and more.
There’s so many things I want to experience in life so I wanted to
capture that in the song. No matter what age you are, you are constantly
changing and starting again.”

The package is completed with acoustic versions of
every song from the original album, most of which are previously
unreleased. Stripping back the material to intimate acoustic
arrangements highlights the compelling and emotionally revealing
song-writing that has become a hallmark of Nina’s sound. Also on the
horizon, Nina will be releasing a series of videos called ‘The Winter Tree Sessions‘ before Christmas, which comprise of songs from the new deluxe album.
On releasing the deluxe album, Nina adds, “I’m so pleased to present
a deluxe version of my album. It’s a huge thank you to all the fans
that have supported this album or been there from the start and
patiently waited for new music. The fan reaction and streaming success
of ‘The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change’ is way beyond
anything I’d ever imagined so a deluxe edition feels like the perfect
way to wrap it all up!”
Also released today, ‘The Sun Will Come Up (2011 – 2019)’, a new mini-documentary produced by the LA-based creative group, GrandSon and
spanning Nina’s entire career to-date, from her musical childhood
beginnings all the way through present day, including the whirlwind that
lead up to the release of her album, The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change last year. “There’s been as many ups and downs as there have been hair colours,” Nina says in a statement on her Instagram. “I’m really proud of what we’ve created and can’t wait for you all to see.” Watch the new film HERE.
As an independently released artist amongst an arena of major label
peers, not only has Nina exceeded expectations in the UK and Europe by
topping the album and single charts, receiving mainstream radio airplay
and selling-out headlining shows across the continent, she has
simultaneously made huge waves in America too. With her signature
story-telling pop, she’s acquired the likes of Taylor Swift and Chloe Grace-Moretz as fans, has sold-out headlining shows across the country and made her show-stopping late night television debut on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert earlier this year. Watch her spellbinding performance of ‘The Best You Had’ HERE.
