New Music: Nectar Woode

Hailing from the creative hub of East London is emerging singer and songwriter Nectar Woode, who has just unveiled an uplifting single titled ‘Good Vibrations’.

If you’re suffering from the midweek blues, then this is the song for you. Co-written and produced by Bad Sounds (who are noted for their work with Arlo Parks and Rose Gray), this beautifully melodic track serves listeners with a charming fusion of soul and pop.

Freshly signed to iconic label Communion Records, we predict that Woode will very quickly become one of the UK’s newest stars. This is one artist to watch!

Bad Sounds – Relief Rain

Harking back to their roots with a dose of feel good indie-pop, Bristol-based Bad Sounds push their sound into new territory through their new single ‘Relief Rain’.

On face value it’s an up beat, feel-good pop song, but the subject matter is pretty heavy. For us it’s about feeling completely overwhelmed and really needing a break from everything. Something that is a continuing personal struggle for both of us as individuals. Especially now that a lot of the world is opening back up after the pandemic, and a lot of those old pressures we’d forgotten about are coming back with a vengeance.”

Bad Sounds – Permanent

“It’s primarily about acceptance- learning how to accept your own shortcomings, and your own personality. Sometimes I feel like I just mirror the people around me in social situations, and started to worry that I didn’t even really have a personality of my own.”
