NEW EP RELEASE – Ego Ella May ‘Take It Easy (Miles’ Song)’
7 December 2023
Nothing To Lose is the latest single, and title track from English/Ghanaian artist Nectar Woode, and sets the tone for what to expect from her highly anticipated debut EP. Woode blends her effortlessly smooth vocals with influences from jazz and RnB to create this upbeat neo-soul jam.
The song encapsulates Nectar Woode as an artist; gospel-inspired vocals, RnB beats, and jazz influences, accompanied by vulnerable lyrics and storytelling. Woode describes Nothing To Lose as a note to herself, reflecting on overcoming adversity and having a positive outlook.
The music video reinforces this message, showing memories from over the past year. The music video gives an insight into Woode’s journey and growth, while the song allows listeners to go on their own journeys and carry the message with them.
Defining lyrics in the song such as “I got nothing to lose, nothing to prove” and “now I’m turning a new leaf” explores Woode’s message of facing adversity and how you cope with, and overcome it. “Hit hard but set free” suggests letting go, and moving on, and particularly the sense of freedom that comes with having the confidence to face challenges along the way.
Nothing To Lose is a leap of faith, and feels particularly relevant for the 20-something year-old, singer and perhaps audience alike, finding their place in adulthood. For Woode, her friends and family are a huge support system and her parent’s creativity is evident in her music, particularly her Dad’s influence as a saxophonist on her music style.
Nectar Woode’s debut EP, Nothing To Lose, is due to be released 23rd of February and is highly anticipated by fans, and has highlighted Nectar Woode as one to watch in 2024, as she defines herself in the music industry.
Nothing To Lose is the perfect song to carry you through the January blues and take forward into 2024.
