With a capacity of 650, The Academy hosted an almost-intimate show, with Nina really interacting with her audience. Her honest and moving words resonate through both her lyrics and the stories and reasoning she has behind her work, that she openly shares throughout the night. Although, not yet released, 'Colder' seemed to be crowd favourite of the night, with fans cheering her on and oozing an abundance of love for her. Showing a vulnerable side, she tells us the song is about "getting your heart broken for the very first time and becoming a cold b***h". During this song, Nina captivates the whole room, turning the roar of love and adoration for her into a magical silence; her fans wholly in awe of her newly found sound.
Nina Nesbitt has come a long way from her peroxide locks and titled album, showing growth in both her song writing and appearance. Moving from a major record label to that of an indie one might have been a bold move but one which has paid off for our Scottish Lass. As well as looking feisty yet polished with her slick and short brunette bob, leopard vest paired with pearls and gorgeous blue satin trousers, she looked content. It was easy to see how much she enjoyed playing every minute of the gig, which was a very special feeling, unlike most overproduced pop sets. Instead, Nina makes great use of the space, even visiting the audience down on their level. Because of this interaction and how she effortlessly showcases her raw and real personality, is partly how she gives such a stellar performance – you can't help but relate to her in some way.
