Kate Nash has returned with a new single, Change.
The reflective track builds to an orchestral crescendo over looping programmed beats, and arrives alongside news that the Brit Award-winning London artist has signed with Kill Rock Stars, the US label best known for releases from Bikini Kill and Sleater-Kinney. Introducing the song, Nash said:
"Change is about relationships and how they are ever-evolving, constant effort is required to maintain good relationships. You can’t become complacent with others or with yourself. But you also have to learn to accept when a relationship is over, whether it’s a romantic relationship or a friendship or a working relationship or even something within yourself that has become toxic or negative in some way. Things end, and that’s OK.
"My mum always told me to sleep on it if I was having trouble with something. She always said it’ll be easier to deal with in the morning, and that thought still comforts me now. When the sun comes up, it’s a new day, and there’s a new opportunity to make changes, make your bed, make a cup of coffee and be honest with yourself."
On inking a deal with Kill Rock Stars, she added: "Twelve years of independence as an artist has taught me so much. It’s given me a stronger sense of self and an undeniable commitment to my work. It’s forced me to face unique challenges and to practice discipline in regard to my art. I am so excited to take every lesson with me into this new chapter as I sign to Kill Rock Stars, who are such an important indie label with incredible music history and impeccable music taste.
"Meeting Slim, Rob and Sydney made me feel like I could be at home on a label again. My favorite thing in the world is to collaborate with good people. I can’t wait to put records out together and to see where this journey takes us."
Kill Rock Stars commented: "Not only does Kate have great songs and a great personality, she makes art for the right reasons. She wants to make the world a better place, and all of that makes Kate Nash a quintessential Kill Rock Stars artist."
Nash, whose latest album is 2018's 'Yesterday Was Forever', will celebrate her return with a show at EartH in London on May 17. Tickets go on general sale at 10am on Friday (February 9). She'll also support The Kooks on Brighton Beach in July, before festival appearances at Kendal Calling and Boardmasters in August.
