Nova Twins have dropped a sassy new single, Monsters

After dropping mysterious hints on Instagram for the past week or so, Nova Twins have dropped a massive new single, Monsters.

The track – accompanied by a video directed by long-time collaborator Harry Lindley – is the first new music from Amy Love and Georgia South in over a year, and fires the starting pistol on the lead-up to their long-awaited follow up to 2022's Supernova album.

"Monsters is about awakening to and understanding your mental health," they explain of the track. "Growing up, we often look outward, absorbing what life throws at us. Over time, the good and bad experiences start to settle. Before learning to navigate these feelings, you may face self-loathing, anxiety and a fear of who you've become. Confronting these emotions, breathing through them, and opening up to someone can help. Many people struggle with mental health, and this song aims to show vulnerability and let our audience know they’re not alone.”

The new track follows last week's announcement that the band are set to perform a special intimate show as part of BRITs Week 25, delivered by DHL for human rights organisation War Child.

“BRITs Week is back for the 12th year running and I am ecstatic to announce this year’s stellar line-up,” says Clare Sanders-Wright, Live Music Lead at War Child. “The shows for BRITs Week are always so special, giving fans a chance to see their favourite musicians in beloved small venues.

“Children don’t start wars, and this past year has been devastating, with children bearing the unimaginable cost of conflicts they hold no responsibility for. War Child is forever grateful to the artists and their teams who are giving their time to make these shows happen, in support of War Child’s mission to support and provide a brighter future for children affected by war and to share our mission statement that No Child Should Be A Part Of War – Ever.”
