Berlin-based Swedish singer-songwriter Nadya Albertsson returns with her most personal work to date, Swaying, released 27 August via Rebecca’s Records. Blending diaristic storytelling with lush, layered instrumentation, the track captures a fleeting, transformative moment of queer self-discovery. Serving as the first glimpse of her forthcoming debut album Half Silk Half Blade set for release on 24 October 2025, Swaying offers an emotive introduction to the world Nadya has crafted.
A Scottish Young Jazz Musician finalist in 2018, her sound has been described as evoking Alice Coltrane, with a blend of Ella Fitzgerald, Esperanza Spalding and Erykah Badu. Her versatile and expansive vocal range has already been showcase on Rebecca Vasmant’s Blessed and Broken Biscuits and Amanda Whiting’s After Dark- projects championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson, Jamie Cullum, Jamz Supernova, BBC Radio 6 Music, BBC Radio 1, and BBC Radio Scotland.
