Heard on the show
Nadine Shah is from Whitburn, near Sunderland in the north-east of England, the daughter of a Pakistani father and an English mother of Norwegian descent, and she left for London at 17 to sing jazz before finding her own darker, drum-driven art-rock voice. Critics routinely reach for PJ Harvey and Siouxsie Sioux to describe the theatrical, low-register power of her singing. 'Fool' comes from Fast Food (2015), her second album with producer Ben Hillier, which gave her her first UK chart entry; its follow-up Holiday Destination (2017) earned a 2018 Mercury Prize nomination. She has become an outspoken advocate for musicians' welfare and mental health, and 2024's Filthy Underneath drew some of the best reviews of her career. She is based in Newcastle.
