Breakthrough pop-rock artist and DIY Class of 2025 member Nieve Ella has unveiled 'Lucky Girl,' her first single with her new label, Artist Theory. This release follows 'Good Grace,' a standalone track released over the summer, and signals the beginning of a darker, more mature phase for Nieve after her 2024 EP 'Watch It Ache And Bleed.' Transitioning from vibrant pop to a more rugged, guitar-driven sound, 'Lucky Girl' captures Nieve grappling with the emotional complexities of newfound independence and the occasional solitude of adulthood. “I was experiencing a powerful sense of empowerment and gratitude for my current situation,” she stated regarding the song's inception. “However, I was also torn by feelings of loneliness and confusion from my new environment. Writing this song was a way for me to reclaim control over my life and relationships - almost as an affirmation for my next chapter; I am a lucky girl, and I achieve what I desire.” Revisit our interview with Nieve from the Class of 2025 and watch her live performance of 'Lucky Girl' at Reading below.
These new releases collectively serve as “a spiritual successor” to their 2024 album ‘Imaginal Disk’.
She states that this collaborative version "brings the country magic that I have always hoped would be in that song."
They have also released a lead single that includes Big Special and actress Gwendoline Christie.
This gives us a glimpse of what to anticipate from her upcoming chapter that leans more towards rock.
