Gabrielle Aplin and Nina Nesbitt join forces in a new single “Miss You 2″. The song is a reimagined version of Aplin’s 2016 track “Miss You” off the EP of the same name. “Miss You 2″ will also serve as a single off Aplin’s upcoming album Dear Happy set for release on January 17.
Prior to the release of “Miss You 2″, both songstresses teased the track on each of their social media with a cryptic image of themselves captioned with the lyrics from the song. And on January 2, the track was surface everywhere for streaming.

Regarding the new version of “Miss You”, Nesbitt talked to Forbes and expressed her happiness and excitement to work on the song with Aplin: “I’m so excited to be featuring on Gabrielle’s new version of “Miss You,”” said Nesbitt. “We have known each other for a long time and one of my first ever gigs was supporting her at a gig in 2011. I’ve always been a big fan of her work and I’m so happy we’ve finally had the chance to collaborate.”
Meanwhile, Aplin also shared the same feeling to have Nesbitt on the reworked version: “I’m so happy to have Nina on “Miss You,”” told Aplin. “We came through as artists around the same time. We have been of both sides of an ever-changing industry and both decided to independently take control of our careers and success. The initial release of “Miss You” feels like the start of that for me, and I’m thrilled that Nina has added her voice to a new version of one of my favourite songs of mine.”
Dear Happy is Aplin’s first full-length record since 2015’s sophomore album Light Up the Dark. During the gap between the two albums, the “Power of Love” hitmaker released two EPs—Miss You (2016) and Avalon (2017)—both of which are Aplin’s departure from her signature folk sound that made her become well known from singles off her debut album English Rain in 2013, such as “Please Don’t Say You Love Me“.
In the meantime, Nesbitt just wrapped up the promotion and tour of her second studio album The Sun Will Come Up, the Seasons Will Change. The album hit number 21 on UK Albums Chart with singles like “Somebody Special” and “Loyal to Me“.
Back to Aplin, she will embark on the Dear Happy Tour in support of her new album in March. The 27-year-old English singer will play a 10-date show across the UK, with one gig in Dublin. Tickets are available now via Ticketmaster. Check out the dates below.
