Jodie Nicholson – You Wanted This

Newcastle’s Jodie Nicholson returns today with a mesmerising new single that deserves your attention.

‘You Wanted This’ is a beautifully sincere and introspective song that tells of Nicholson’s passion for her craft as a musician. She explains:

“To me, ‘You Wanted This’ is about remembering why I fell in love with music in the first place. As a kid, I was obsessed with Avril Lavigne, wished I was one of Roger Waters’ backing vocalists, always searching for cool music that no-one else was listening to, wanting to be on Stars In Their Eyes and sitting in the back of the car pretending I was in a music video, singing all moody through the window… It’s thinking back to how I viewed music then and regaining that child-like excitement for the music I make now as an artist. I’d like to think that if I ever have a wobble, this track will serve as a personal reminder of why I love being an artist and what I can be capable of. Unintentional, but it’s a pretty nice feeling.”

Nicholson has solidified her status as one of Northern England’s most promising starlets, having garnered praise from outlets as noted as BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, Earmilk and Apple Music.

‘You Wanted This’ serves as a taster to the artist’s upcoming ‘Safe Hands’ album, which is scheduled for release on May 10th 2024.
