- NADIA REID -
"The New Zealand songwriter embraces a full bodied sound halfway between Haim's sophisticated pop sparkle and Sharon Van Etten's full-throated songcraft." – The Guardian
“Reid has built a name for herself as a chronicler of emotional complexities…capturing the joy and pain of living in an opaque fashion” – The Times
Nadia Reid’s Enter Now Brightness is an album of departure and questioning, a reminder that songwriting can transform pain, joy, thoughts, and anger into something new. “I’m so much better off now that it exists,” she says. “Now feels like a new time.”
Moving further from her folk roots, Reid establishes a sound distinctly her own—poised and expansive. The title, drawn from a book passage, evokes light breaking through, the feeling of stepping onto a stage, of life beginning.
A record of great beauty and change, Enter Now Brightness captures Reid’s evolution, blending textural pop, country-leaning folk-rock, and striking emotional depth. The Guardian describes her sound as “halfway between Haim’s sophisticated pop sparkle and Sharon Van Etten’s full-throated songcraft.
