Nadia Reid is on a long journey - and with her latest album, Enter Now Brightness, she is moving still further away from her folk-music roots. “I still feel uncomfortable about the word folk and being a folk singer,” says the 34-year-old New Zealander. “It makes me sort of cringe. It’s too confining.” 

There’s certainly no sense of Nadia feeling confined on the new album, which effectively blends textural pop with country-leaning folk-rock and showcases a sound which is distinctly her own. “I’m so much better off now that it exists,” she says of the record. “Now feels like a new time.”
