Filthy Underneath
EMI North
A new album from Nadine is always cause for celebration in this camp and 'Filthy Underneath' is no exception - this is an intimately personal account of the past 4 years yet the virtuosity and sophistication of her deep, soulful explorations are slung through with a danceable swoon, energising vocal licks, and a wry sense of humour that manages the impossible task of endearing her to us even more.
Nadine Shah’s 5th album is a genuinely extraordinary, dynamic, visceral and vital piece of work that continues to draw melody from abrasion and juxtapose beauty and tenderness with tension and uneasiness - both lyrically and musically. She really is one hell of a talent!
‘Filthy Underneath’ chronicles a period of unprecedented turbulence in her life and yet the experience of listening to it is oddly life-affirming - a parade of ghosts spanning the entirety of her life, moving with balletic beauty to the music that Nadine and long-time co-writer and producer Ben Hillier have created around them. The virtuosity and sophistication of Nadine’s deep, soulful explorations are on a par with that of Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, or more recently, Bat For Lashes, Anna B. Savage and Keeley Forsyth.
