In less than a week’s time, Kiwi musician Nadia Reid will release her fourth album: ‘Enter Now Brightness’.  

It’s her first album in five years, born from a period of reflection during the Covid lockdowns beginning in 2020. 

The album is a record of “poise and great beauty”, documenting the sound of a “cellular shift” and pain giving way to tenderness and joy, the biography on her website reads. 

She told Newstalk ZB’s Jack Tame that the album took two years to write. 

“At one point I thought, well, I don’t have terribly much to say,” she said, referring to the stagnancy of lockdown. 

“But it turns out I did have... I had, I wrote 12, we recorded 12 songs, 10 of which made it onto the album.”
