Nardean

Today Nardean releases her mesmerizing new single “weightless” and announces her sophomore EP “THE NEW ERA” out on Friday, May 1st.

‘“THE NEW ERA” is the follow up to her highly acclaimed 2018 debut EP “Creatress”, which explores her Arabic roots and Australian upbringing and showcases her incredible talent to traverse rap, melody, and poetry.

Nardean says “weightless” is about the difference between “light vs dark” and “light vs. heavy”... I think that somewhere along the way we got it wrong. We kept searching for the “light,” instead of focusing on feeling light (not heavy) within ourselves! This song is about dropping all the heavy sh*t… it's about just focusing on being the best person YOU can be, without any judgement or hate towards others. The chorus says it all… focus on me, and send love to you.”

The new EP, produced by Stackhat, highlights Nardean’s signature love of language, which she has embraced since her days at Macquarie University studying English Literature. “weightless” is a sneak peak into an EP that is sonically remarkable, lyrically intelligent and bursting with personality.

The video for “weightless” was directed and edited by Nardean. It perfectly reflects the mood of the song – light-hearted, colourful and loveable, and features Nardean spreading positivity through the streets of Marrickville.

Growing up in Western Sydney’s Mount Druitt, sometimes provocative and always sassy, Nardean embodies the under-represented and often misrepresented voices of Australian women of colour. She says “Growing up where I did, there was no one out here doing music, let alone an Egyptian woman. I want to be the woman that young, multicultural girls can look up to, and see themselves in. I want them to know that if I can do it, they can too.”

Her work is motivated by the unflinching pursuit of honesty, integrity and authentic feminine force. Coining the term “post hop” to describe her genre, Nardean is at the forefront of the Australian music revolution.
