Nia Smith presents her debut single, "Give Up The Fear"
London-based artist Nia Smith has released her debut single, "Give Up The Fear".
The track arrives accompanied by a beautiful visual directed by British Director LOOSE (aka Lucy Hickling.) Conveying the brain-child message of the song, the video includes iconography of bikes and children and was shot in Brixton - specifically Windrush Square - a stone's throw from where Nia spent her youth.
Produced by Grammy-award-winning producer Jimmy Napes, the song presents a deeper meaning alongside an innate musical charisma; “[it’s] about finding that inner-child again… you know how when you’re a kid you don’t overthink or second-guess creativity? I would watch my little brother paint when he wants to paint, draw when he wants to draw, while I second-guess what I want to do," Nia Smith states.
"Give Up The Fear" is out now.
