Speaking on the new single, actor and musician Nash states the following, “‘Wasteman’ is about owning your power and being in a confident enough place to call someone out for their bad behaviour in a toxic relationship. It’s realising you deserve better. It’s the moment you recognise yourself again and see yourself smile after years of fighting for respect in a relationship. You learn over the years that the most important respect comes from yourself and that you can choose who you have in your life. Basically, if they ain’t treating you right and your friends are sick of telling you they’re not worth it, dump them. It’s giving London sass with a throwback to my UK garage and piano roots #nomorewastemen.”
The 35-year-old singer’s upcoming release will be taken from her forthcoming album, the LP has not received a confirmed date of release as of yet. Nash’s fifth studio album will also contain the 2021 singles “Horsie”, “Imperfect” and recently released single “Misery”, the first track to be released from the unreleased new album. In May, Nash released the single marking the first drop of new material in 18 months.
Speaking on the track, Nash stated, “I definitely went through depression. For the most part of the year, I just didn’t have the energy and I was kind of lethargic and very lacklustre, Rather than fighting that, I leaned into it. The singer continued to confirm that “Misery” is “about the trauma: the trauma of everything changing.”
The release of Nash’s new album will mark the fifteenth anniversary of her entry into the music industry and our ears. A Press release provides a statement concerning the release, “Kate is busy hatching plans on how to celebrate the anniversary of its release” The singer dropped her debut album Made Of Bricks in 2007, the album propelled the young singer into stardom and proved to be a huge commercial and critical success. Once released, the album reached the top of the UK album charts and also sired the chart-topping lead single “Foundations”.
