Scottish singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist, Nina Nesbitt released her single Mansion earlier this month from her forthcoming fourth studio album, Mountain Music, which is due to be released on September 27, via her own record label—Apple Tree Records. The album is now available to pre-order/save HERE.

Mansion is instantly captivating in its melody, lyrics and of course, Nesbitt’s heavenly and entrancing vocals which soar to a passionate and more gritty level towards the close of the track!

Mansion is beautifully scripted. Nina Nesbitt’s way of capturing the pain of not knowing one’s self worth and transforming it into such magical and poetic lyrics is astonishing! It’s an unfortunately “all too familiar” story for so many. In the song, Nina speaks to a friend who she sees as this Mansion with so much to offer! I hope people listen to this song and take inspiration from it and start treating themselves better! It’s so hard to do though.

Speaking about the new song, Nina reveals, “I wrote it for a friend of mine after finding out how she saw herself. To me, she’s like a beautiful mansion in the middle of a dreary city. She’s covered in wisteria vines and roses. Everyone that passes her stops and stares, but she’s had her curtains drawn. She hasn’t let the light in for years. Dust has been gathering inside and things have been falling into disrepair. She’s been in the dark so long, she’s forgotten her own magic. People have treated her like a transient hallway. Temporary accommodation. A place to store their baggage. She was too afraid to let people in that no one got to see the grand ballroom or the beautiful lake view from the window in the library, full of lives lived. This song is for anyone who has struggled to realize their own worth – or had others devalue it. Sometimes you just need a friend to remind you, you are a Mansion.”

Mansion will appear on Nina’s forthcoming fourth studio album, Mountain Music, which is due to be released on September 27, via her own record label—Apple Tree Records. The album is now available to pre-order/save HERE
