Nadia Reid unveils breezy new track "Oh Canada"

"Oh Canada" follows on from previous singles "Get the Devil Out" and "Best Thing".

Speaking to Billboard about the new track, Reid says, "Canada is a metaphor for all places and everywhere, but the phrase essentially came to me after I was reflecting on my long love affair with Rufus and Martha Wainwright and Joni Mitchell - Canadian artists that have constantly inspired and saved me through the years. I had also been particularly inspired by Michele Shocked's song "Anchorage" where she would reference place and city a lot. Which I have done throughout the record."

Reid adds, "It is also about big love and new love and navigating being an artist in love with an artist. I was on tour a lot and I was getting more and more attention. There was friction and resentment. So "Oh Canada" is about that relationship breaking down essentially. It was me working out what I was waiting for and what I wanted from life at that point in time. I finished the song in Portugal."

Out of My Province will be Reid's first album since 2017's Preservation.

To record Out of My Province, Reid had to travel from New Zealand to Virginia, and worked at Spacebomb studios with Sam Taylor and the Spacebomb house band.

Discussing the new record, Reid says, "Out of My Province is definitely a travelling album; they are road songs. I felt inspired while I was moving and playing most nights. Sometimes good. Sometimes hard – there was this term I came up with called 'digging for gold' where some nights, you’d need to dig deeper for that feeling. During that time I felt really alive and useful."
