Get ready to dive into the musical magic of Jodie Nicholson with her latest single “You Wanted This” from her upcoming album “Safe Hands,” set for release on May 10th, 2024. Released under Quiet Crown/Absolute, this track is now out and is a thrilling glimpse into what Nicholson has crafted in her new record.
“You Wanted This” serves as the opener for “Safe Hands” and explores the rollercoaster emotions of being a musician. It starts with an entrancing melody and builds with Nicholson’s smooth electro influences into a crescendo of euphoric, synth-heavy finales, complete with expressive vocals.
This song is a heartfelt homage to Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, whose music has been a major influence on Nicholson since her teenage years. As the first project where Nicholson took the helm as a producer, it emboldened her to take the leap to produce the entire album herself.
“Safe Hands” offers a deep dive into personal and professional relationships through a mix of brooding chamber-pop and alt-pop sounds. Her earlier single, “Another Frequency,” along with “What If I,” propelled Nicholson into 2024 with wide acclaim, gaining airplay on major radio stations and featuring in high-profile music platforms.
Nicholson’s journey in music production took a big step at Blank Studios in Newcastle, where she teamed up with talents like Oli Deakin for mixing and Katie Tavini for mastering. The album nods to her progressive rock roots with occasional ’80s flair, reminiscent of iconic movie soundtracks.
This album marks a new chapter in Nicholson’s career, filled with personal growth and fresh sounds. Prepare to be whisked away by the spellbinding journey that is “Safe Hands.”
