• Nina Nesbitt's first new release since her 2014 debut album Peroxide finds the formerly guitar playing singer being re-branded into a pop vixen. The electro tune is accompanied by a steamy and risqué music video that even includes a saucy shower scene.
  
  Nesbitt said: "It's a big departure from the 17-year-old girl with an acoustic guitar but it feels like the most honest music I've written.
  
  I've been left alone to do whatever I want without anyone breathing down my neck saying, 'That's not you', or trying to water it down. I've spent the past two years living with friends in London and sonically documenting it."
  
• Nesbitt compares a relationship here to chewing gum. The singer has hooked up with the guy for a little fun, and she warns him the relationship "won't be forever." As soon as the flavor's gone, Nesbitt will discard him. She explained: "'Chewing Gum' is an empowering track that I wrote about the transient types of relationships people have when they're trying to figure out what they want and they're not ready to fully commit."
