Stay Out

We say

Stay Out could have been split in two and still made a brace of great pop songs such is the quality of hooks on offer in this sub three minute gem. Nina Nesbitt's brooding vocal is lighting up radio, added to this week's Radio1 C-list four weeks upfront. In just three weeks the video has enjoyed an incredible 800k views, the most explosive Nina release yet. The 18-year-old's forthcoming four track EP will be supported by videos for each of the tracks, the second of which - Just Before Goodbye - has been up for one week and had a staggering 550k views, with Statues set to go online today, and No Interest on March 25. Nina's social stats are quite amazing; last week saw a 14% rise in the Scots Twitter followers (now at 60k), with Facebook rising between 5-8% a week (now at 47k). With the young artist set to play her biggest live shows to date in London and Edinburgh - her first with a full band - there is a clear connection happening on the ground. Video.
