Nino SLG Wonders "What's Left" On Brooding New Single


January 31, 2023

Signalling the upcoming release of his new EP Mirror Story, Nino SLG presents his pensive new single "What's Left", produced by Kyle Evans.

Over a full bed of strings and piano layers, Nino digs deep within himself in order to access the deepest emotional recesses. He ponders on his struggles with mental health and the communities that provided him refuge during those difficult times. It's a heartfelt build-up until the production sinks into darker textures where Nino's mind circles around topics like materialism and lust while increasing the tension of his delivery.

Spike Silverton delivers the well-executed visual that depicts the duality of Nino's state of mind; one version of him begins his humble reflection before another version comes to life in the mirror, representing the shadow aspect of his psyche. Towards the end of the track, he comes to admit that he's not sure of what's left.

Sharing his thoughts on his upcoming project, Nino says, "My new EP is a story about the person I can see in the mirror. It's my most vulnerable project to date, and I want people to see this side of me. Lyrically I've touched on materialism and everyday possessions, concepts and distractions to try and show how these steer people away from conquering the real problem which is usually themselves."

"Musically, I've reflected the contrasting emotions in the lyrics by switching up the production as you move through the project. Mirror Story is about exploring myself and my emotions, in the hope that there might be other people out there who are feeling the same—I hope that my EP makes them feel understood."

Mirror Story lands March 10.
