Nina Cobham announces debut album, On The Basis Of A Pinky Promise

08 April 2025, 13:04 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Nina Cobham has announced her forthcoming debut album, Basis Of A Pinky Promise, alongside the release of semi-eponymous single, "Pinky Promise".

“Pinky Promise came from an idea of; making the decision to being open and willing to risk it all and give everything to a relationship, on the basis of something perceived as 'childish' as a pinky promise; choosing to trust fully on the basis of some flimsy, small, demonstration, and taking it seriously. Throwing yourself in at the deep end, despite any reservations or worries. It's playful and lighthearted but mixed with some lyrics about trust issues, there's kind of a duality going on but they kind of meet with this playful intersection,” Cobham explains.

Following three acclaimed EPs, what colour does this feel like? (2021), Middle of Nowhere (2023), and Antes (2024), Nina Cobham is ready for her debut full-length release. “At its core, this album is about trust,” she explains. “I’ve always struggled with it, but choosing to trust—whether in love, in friendships, or in yourself—is so important. A pinky promise is a small thing, but it holds weight. That’s what this record is about.”

Tracklist:

  1. Soft Place to Land
  2. Mejor Contigo (Homesick)
  3. I'm the Problem
  4. March
  5. LOML
  6. Pinky Promise
  7. Better in Person
  8. Set Me Right
  9. Es De Verdad (Keep It Going)

Basis Of A Pinky Promise will be released on 10 July via AWAL.
