    Nesbitt is back with her second LP, switching to a brand of soul and R&B-fused pop that feels bang on time, and suits her far better. The Sun Will Come Up, the Seasons Will Change has slick, polished production from Fraser T Smith (Adele), Lostboy (Anne-Marie), Jordan Riley (Zara Larsson), and Nesbitt herself.

    An album that finds Nesbitt in the midst of personal and artistic self-discovery. She’s almost there, just a few more seasons.

    The Sun Will Come Up opens as a consistent story, but it’s not one into which all of its components can sensibly fit. That’s not to say Nesbitt’s diverse adaptability is all bad, it’s simply that she shines brightest when committing to a style without sacrificing her individuality.

    At 13 tracks, and the more forgettable ones clustered in the second half, the album could have benefitted from some trimming, but it ends elegantly, with a reassuring title track that seems to promise further growth.

    While it may not be the collection of hits we were hoping for, The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change is a little like a compilation of musical diary entries sprinkled with newly learnt wisdom: it’s fun, it’s new, and it’s Nesbitt's coming-of-age moment.

    I've been a fan of Nina since her first album dropped, and with this album, we get a new Nina and a new sound. The first album showed someoneI've been a fan of Nina since her first album dropped, and with this album, we get a new Nina and a new sound. The first album showed someone who didn't know who they were, and it was a mix of confusing lyrics and musically weak. This is made by someone who has a clear goal of the artist and the type of music they want to release into the world.

    This album is filled with diary entry style songs, which tell a coming of age tale showing the world this is Nina. This album is mixed of difference genres and is inspired by nineties RnB. The album is perfect pop and soul merged with R&B, and it suits her much better than the first album's style.

    'Loyal to Me and 'Love Letter' pay homage to 'No Scrubs,' but while being honest and raw, they equally show that Nina is a strong independent person.

    The songs 'Is it Really Me You're Missing' and 'The Moments I'm Missing' show a vulnerable side of Nina, but showcase her ability to dive into her heart. She puts her real emotions on the lines, something which many people shy away from in this age of songwriting.

    Nina is influenced by Taylor Swift and claims her being the reason why she picked up a guitar at fifteen years old. With a song like 'Last December' on the album, you can see the influence of Taylor shine through upon the album. 'Last December' tells a story of a first date, the same way Taylor's 'Begin Again' does that. This song reminds me of 'All Too Well' due to the stripped-back production as well as its crips storytelling. The nostalgia about a new coming relationship is something I think we all relate to at some point.

    The album is a perfectly put together pop album, which relies on more atmospheric production and simple beats than anything else. This forces you to focus on the lyrics themselves, and demonstrate to the world that Nina is serious about her craft. Except for 'Things I Say When You Sleep' 'Last December' and Love Letter' I feel like the second album contains several forgettable tracks. I would say this includes the title track, which to me is probably the weakest on the album. I think the album should have been named 'Love Letter' the song perfectly sums up the albums. It combines the idea that this album will appear sweet and heartfelt but equally runs a lot deeper. She is showing the world that she might write love songs, but she isn't about to let someone walk all over her.

    While Nina shows how her maturity has gained over the past four years she has done a brilliant job of telling the stories of her experiences. She has the insight to a modern type of relationships, even calling out **** boys' in 'Loyal To Me.' Nina has a gift, which means she can create witty and clever lyrics without it seeming like too much effort. With lyrics showcasing her self reflection and regret as well as her expectations for a fairytale, only to be bitterly hurt, Nina is a perfect Pop Princess in the making.

    While the lyrics of the songs are telling an honest and raw story, they don't all manage to be instant hits, which is something we would expect. Her singles, however, have all be the stronger songs on the album, with only 'Last December and 'This I say When You Sleep' missing from the collection. Nina has her heard screw right with this album, but I do think the album could have been trimmed.

    However, I would say this album is so much better than that of her first, or any of her EP's. I hope this sets the tone for albums to come because this is the music she should be making.

    I think you lost one of the best song of the year 2019! you can check it in this album. I think the song "Is It Really Me You're Missing" wasI think you lost one of the best song of the year 2019! you can check it in this album. I think the song "Is It Really Me You're Missing" was really a powerful, emotional and disturbing song. The singer has become self-sufficient in this song. In the last year, Nina released an interesting song named "Desperate" and now she is released her best song! Expand

    I am slightly Bias Being such a big fan, but this is the album I’ve been waiting for since the Stay out EP. Seamlessly incorporating herI am slightly Bias Being such a big fan, but this is the album I’ve been waiting for since the Stay out EP. Seamlessly incorporating her acoustic origins with slick early 00's style pop Sonics and candid autobiographical lyrics to craft a timeless coming of age, proudly pop, album.

    With subject Matters Ranging from promiscuity and struggling with separation to emotional rigidity and Jadedness and a lyrical wit matched by few. Anyone who was a fan of her prior should have a pleasant surprise and anyone who counted her out will feel incredibly foolish.

    Lastly what she brings to a live set is a raw vulnerability and voice so captivating it’s hard not to feel drawn to her story.
