Nothing Compares

South West London artist Naila is blending R&B with pop sounds as she reminisces over a lost love in her most recent track, Nothing Compares.

Listeners can expect the unexpected as the song’s stripped back vulnerability is a clear polarisation of her previous pop 80s-esque release Fighting with Fire – making Naila an impossible figure to categorise.

The polished and almost acoustic like sounds create an intimate space where we too can share the pain of losing an unrequited love. Rather than becoming the track, the music simply assists in elevating Naila’s soft vocals, so that her deeply personal and emotive words are never lost. The track is one that explores the inevitable heart ache that pours from the fallout of relationships, as we endlessly question and try to understand the reasons an ex-lover mistreats us. Or when they quite simply don’t want us.

‘I can feel your face, you know you made a mistake’…while we all wish our exes would blast a message about their eternal regret on a broadcast Instagram post, instead we have to hope that they too feel that nothing compares…
