Cooking Vinyl

Cooking Vinyl is a British indie label that has been around for many years. It was formerly managed by Pete Lawrence, who helped shape the label's success. With a strong reputation in the music industry, Cooking Vinyl has become known for its diverse roster of artists and high-quality releases.

As an authoritative figure in the independent music scene, Cooking Vinyl has made a name for itself by supporting talented artists and providing them with a platform to showcase their work. The label prides itself on its commitment to artistic integrity and innovation.

With the label code LC 7180, Cooking Vinyl continues to be at the forefront of discovering new talent and releasing groundbreaking music across various genres. Whether you're a fan of rock, folk, or electronic music, Cooking Vinyl offers something for everyone with its impressive catalog of releases.

Nina Nesbitt is set to take her continuing rising star status to the next level with the release of her eagerly anticipated new album Älskar. Made in the show of the introspection, loss and fear of lockdown, Älskar celebrates life in all of its complexities as well as love in every form imaginable. As we’ve heard from its previous singles ‘Dinner Table’ and ‘When You Lose Someone’, ‘Älskar’ (meaning “to love” in Swedish, a reflection of Nina’s half-Swedish heritage) shimmers with both tender, intimate ballads and huge escapist ‘80s-tinged bangers that beg for the dancefloor.

The new single ‘Pressure Makes Diamonds’ is one of the album’s brightest moments, all refined alt-pop sparkle and alluring effervescent melodies which are capped by Nina’s quick-flowing freestyle vocal. It’s a song of contrasts. Its sound is immediately catchy and fun, but it expresses a powerful message: the stereotypical expectations that so many young women are expected to conform to as they reach their mid-twenties. Nina wrote the song with its producers Jack &amp; Coke (Charli XCX, Tove Lo) and the Swedish artist SHY Martin. It was then mixed by the award-winning Manon Grandjean (Stormzy, Dave).

In addition to the singles, Älskar introduces highlights at every turn. The early landmark moment ‘Teenage Chemistry’ celebrates Nina’s current long-term relationship with beat-driven dreamy elegance and the instantly relatable lyrics. It then journeys through the minimalist ambient pop of ‘No Time (For My Life To Suck’), an intimate, acoustic arrangement on ‘I Should Be A Bird’, and cinematic balladeering with ‘Colours of You’. By the time the album closes with the gorgeously glacial title track, it’s evident that Nina Nesbitt has created an album that primes her for a much bigger future.
