Nicole Alexis Announces New EP SYMPATHY REHAB, Shares Single "Broken"
Nashville-based artist also stylizes her name as N/A and cites Paramore and Jimmy Eat World as influences.
Nicole Alexis has announced a new EP titled SYMPATHY REHAB, set for release via Hard Working Records. The Nashville-based alternative artist, who stylizes her name as N/A, is releasing the news alongside a new single, 'Broken,' as well as an acoustic version of the track.
Sympathy Rehab is set to be released on September 25th via Hard Working Records.
''Sympathy Rehab' feels like the most comfortable I've ever been in my own music,' N/A shares. 'I stopped worrying as much about what I thought a record was supposed to sound like and started following the things I naturally gravitate toward… live drums, guitars, imperfect performances and lyrics that feel like something I would actually say. There are a lot of different emotions across these four songs, but the thing that connects them for me is how honest they feel.'
About 'Broken', she adds: ''Broken' came from a period where I felt like I was constantly trying to hold everything together, even when I knew I wasn't doing a very good job at it. I wanted the song to capture that feeling without making it feel overly dramatic. It sits in that uncomfortable space of knowing everything is falling apart, but still trying to push through it and make sense of everything as it's happening.'
N/A has quietly taken the internet by storm over the last few years, building a following of hundreds of thousands across social media with her stripped back and looped covers of fan favorites from New Found Glory, Kelly Clarkson, Smashing Pumpkins, My Chemical Romance, A Day To Remember, Dashboard Confessional, blink-182, and more.
Her songwriting skills and instrumental prowess are on full display throughout N/A's debut EP Mirrors & Smoke, including hit single 'Don't Tell Me To Breathe' – featured in the launch of Fender's Quantum LT – and 'Just A Friend', which was teased last year while performing at Vans Warped Tour on The Unplugged Stage in Orlando.
Following the EP, N/A announced that she had signed with Hard Working Records, joining the label's roster of rising stars, including Rachel Grae, Earth To Eve, naarjesse, and Billie Reekie. She made her label debut with 'Goodbye' and continues to release new music with the recent addition of single 'Broken' and upcoming release of Sympathy Rehab.
