Nadine Shah

Delivered using an intense brand of art pop/rock, singer and songwriter Nadine Shah possesses a voice and, more importantly, a mystique that has often been described as a blend of PJ Harvey and Nick Cave. She debuted her brooding, atmospheric mix of midnight loner pop and torchy, jazz-kissed indie rock on a pair of EPs in 2012 and has since released five studio albums. Born of Pakistani and Norwegian parentage in Whitburn, South Tyneside, Shah was inspired by jazz and pop as a youth, as well as by the religious Sufi songs that her father brought into the house.
