The track follows the release of the artist’s 2023 debut EP Mood Swings
Armed with a stylish and modern sound that combines aspects of jazz, R&B, pop and soul, Half Norwegian, half Moroccan artist Nadia Essah is an artist who has been steadily establishing herself as a rising force in contemporary music, something that grows more apparent with each new release from the artist.
The latest showcase of this comes in the form of her new single ‘A Step At A Time’, a track with a message that is rooted in compassion and being able to recognise that everybody is just human and trying to forge their own path, making mistakes and overcoming hurdles along the way. There is a smoothness and a flowing nature to the sound that echoes this feeling of growing and evolving as time passes by, and a thoughtful, expansive feel to the instrumentation and Nadia’s nuanced vocals. The track does a great job of showcasing the heart and thought that goes into the artist’s sound and her writing, and perfectly sets the stage for whatever is set to come as she continues on this immersive journey of discovery.
“‘A Step At A Time’ is very much about understanding and compassion.” Nadia says. “Learning that people make mistakes without meaning to has been a big realisation for me. It’s funny — I wasn’t fully conscious of it while writing the song, but that’s the thing about music: sometimes your subconscious is ten steps ahead of you.”
