Nadia Sheikh exists somewhere in the grey area between indie and pop, with an earnest style of songwriting that creates thoughtful indie-rock anthems. Journos from underground radio stations to BBC Introducing have been singing her praises, particularly as a live artist, and it’s this aspect of her career that she’s drawn from on her latest single ‘Fire Away’.

While the song’s lyrics are deliberately ambiguous, fitting the rush of love as much as they’d fit the rush of performing music live, there’s something about ‘Fire Away’’s passionate performances and lightly pop-tinged choruses that feel like a love letter to the gigs at which so many people fell in love with Sheikh’s music. It just gives off main character energy; passionate and dramatic in the best possible way.
