Nadine Shah has shared details of her new album, Kitchen Sink.
The follow-up to 2017’s Holiday Destination – number five in tQ’s top 100 albums of that year list – is preceded by lead single ‘Ladies For Babies (Goats For Love)’, which you can watch a video for above. Speaking about the track, Shah said: "’Ladies for Babies’ is a direct response to ‘All That She Wants’ by Ace of Base. I reversed the gender and I poke fun at a husband who expects nothing more from me, as a wife, than to carry his child and perform the role of the obeying subservient trophy wife. Only this time the mistress is a farmyard animal. A lot of my album explores subjects of sexism and tradition."
Kitchen Sink sees Shah address societal expectations of women in their 30s and 40s, and is based around her own experience as well as her conversations with a number of other women. "Essentially I’m writing about so many women that I just love," she said. "The new mothers, the rock stars, the ones doubting themselves who need our support, the ones who are ill but show an indescribable strength. There’s traditions that were set out years ago of how our lives should be and that has changed completely now and I for one am so proud to be a woman and to be surrounded by even greater ones."
Infectious Music will release Kitchen Sink on June 5, 2020.
