Nia Wyn - Take A Seat (EP)

Fast-rising, London-based, Welsh soul singer, Nia Wyn today releases her brilliant new EP ”Take A Seat”, an intoxicating mix of soul, jazz and RnB.

Nia says, “I wrote a few of the songs - or at least parts of them - over the past year and a half, and as I began to develop this EP, a body of work started to form that had a clear theme. I had been writing about two parts of myself and trying to connect them - giving a voice to the adolescent me, and myself in the present. A lot of the songs deal with my experience with mental health issues, confusion around identity and struggling with the relationships in my life growing up and now - feeling let down, angry but conflicted.

‘I worked with Pat McManus on this EP. Because of the pandemic some of the music was made in the studio but other times we had to do remote sessions, so it was definitely a different recording experience. Making this project massively helped me get through being at home and gave me a purpose and drive.

‘Take A Seat’ is a play on what receptionists of course say at mental health services when you have to sit in a waiting room, waiting to express yourself and try to connect with yourself. But it’s also a statement asking the listener to sit down and be introduced to me, my music and what I have to say. And that this is just the start.”
