The track is the second single from the artist’s upcoming new EP
Thoughtful songwriting and intricate, engrossing soundscapes are two things that have become synonymous with Australian alt-pop artist Jess Ball, an artist who has spent the last few years grinding and working her way into the hearts and minds of listeners with her memorable appeal.
The artist’s latest single ‘Nightmare’ is an exploration of this grind that we go through in life and the decisions that we make along the way, often wanting what is just out of our reach or what we know we can’t have. The nuanced appeal of her sound and the textured distortion and layers of hook-driven pop melodies make for a truly captivating listening experience, with her vocals and resonating, self-deprecating lyrics still finding room to shine.
Jess shares: “‘Nightmare’ reflects the trial and error of making life decisions, the self-doubt that comes with it, and the human tendency to desire the unattainable. It’s about feeling trapped in your ambitions while navigating the uncertainty of what lies ahead.”
