New York rising star Nisa is preparing the release of her brand new EP, Time To Plant Tears, which will be released on December 2nd.
She already gave us a taste of the release with first single “St. James Gate” and today she shares the second single “Cold” with a brand new music video just in time for Halloween.
Nisa wrote “Cold” with her frequent collaborator, Fritz Ortman, (and producer Ronnie di Simone) drawing upon 80’s inspired guitar tone and that ever-present emotional connection that always packs a punch. She continues to wonderfully straddle the usually hard-to-reach balance of finding an establishing trademark sound while still venturing into exciting new directions as one naturally evolves as an artist.
Speaking about the writing of the song, Nisa explains:
Fritz —my close friend and frequent collaborator—wrote “Cold” with the Cars’ “Just What I Needed” in mind. We demoed it a few different ways before deciding to fully lean into the 80s with the chorus, and brought it to Ronnie [di Simone], producer, who came up with the thunderous, Adrien Beluga-inspired solo.
The music video for “Cold” comes perfectly during spooky season with Nisa getting some bloody revenge on a former lover – inspired by many great Halloween slasher films and classics of the genre.
The video was shot by director Ben Klein in Stony Point, New York and also features Ethan River Cohen, Monica Sanborn, Emmit Flynn and Maura Doyle.
You can find the video for “Cold” available to watch below and the EP available to preorder at Bandcamp.
