"[Nadia] embraces a full-bodied sound halfway between Haim’s sophisticated pop sparkle and Sharon Van Etten’s full-throated songcraft" — The Guardian

This December acclaimed songwriter Nadia Reid journeys back to New Zealand and Australia in celebration of Enter Now Brightness; her critically lauded fourth album which was released on Chrysalis in February 2025.

The Manchester-based expatriate New Zealander is known for her ruminative and well-crafted folk-inflected songwriting, and with Enter Now Brightness she presents a record of poise and great beauty, the sound of a cellular shift, of pain giving way to tenderness and joy.

“There’s a questing robustness to these songs, a sense of somebody finally having the perspective to seek out answers to long-hanging questions.” ★★★★ — MOJO

Enter Now feels different. It is an album, she says, of departure and questioning, that has reminded her how songwriting can be “the most useful thing to do with pain and joy and thoughts and feelings and anger.” That through music we can find great change. “I’m so much better off now that it exists,” she says. “Now feels like a new time.”
