Nadia Reid
Enter New Brightness
(Chrysalis)
★★★
SINCE releasing her 2020 career-enhancing album Out Of My Province at the start of the pandemic, Kiwi Nadia Reid has had two children and relocated to Manchester, England.
Enter New Brightness, recorded back in New Zealand between 2021 and 2023, is the singer-songwriter’s fourth record. She continues to thicken her sound from her folky beginnings, with single Hotel Santa Cruz a hooky rock song, with a dash of country too.
