Pairing melancholy songwriting with stirring electronica, acclaimed British indie artist Nathan Ball shares “Blindside” – the stunning lead single from his forthcoming debut album, out later this year.
With a haunting verse building to a euphoric chorus, “Blindside” eventually erupts with cymbals like the crashing waves on the storm-beaten cliffs which naturally surround the Cornwall-based musician. Starting out as Nathan tinkering on a piano in an old chapel outside of Bath, “Blindside” documents a relationship falling apart, the feeling of losing sight of who each other is and craving that connection and emotion back.
Produced by Max Radford and mixed by the esteemed Nicolas Verhnes (The War on Drugs, Daughter, Deerhunter), “Blindside” follows a quiet yet formative 2020 for the British artist, riding high off the back of his very well-received collaboration with dance legends Faithless for their latest album All Blessed, alongside his own beautifully poignant singles “Just Say Something” and “All Comes Back to You” plus writing/producing his debut album.
With a six date UK Tour to now look forward to later in 2021, this year looks set to be a milestone one for Nathan’s career and an exciting new phase for the burgeoning artist.
