Jay Nash will release his most mature and inspired album to date
The Things You Think You Need on
October 7th on Bonded/Fontana Records. An honest and engaging songwriter with a voice to match, Jay Nash has received praise from fans and critics alike, but his music speaks for itself. A genuine songwriter, a vibrant performer, Nash’s vitality seems to erupt through the very thing he has long since pledged his life to.
The Things You Think You Need filters this soulful energy through the eyes of someone who has experienced the ebb and flow of life- the heartache, the happiness and all that lies between.
It’s certainly refreshing to find an artist that refuses to simply dwell on the hard times, instead choosing to bask in the good and the great that life has to offer. At times almost jovial, Nash’s charisma and buoyant attitude is infectious to the last with a sound capable of softening the sternest of hearts. From the resplendent urgency of ‘Hard Lesson’ to the elegiac ‘Barcelona’, ‘The Things You Think You Need’ has the potential to surpass anything that’s gone before. The writing/recording process for this, his fourth studio album, saw Nash’s creative spark ignite like wild-fire as he wrestled with the concept of producing an album laden with variety and character. By drawing inspiration from his own life experiences, both past and present, Nash’s inspirational and evocative lyrical imagery possesses the ability to shatter those deep-rooted inadequacies and musters a feeling of liberation and new-found confidence. There’s no sign of an agenda here - Nash’s spirited folk revival offers salvation for the masses. Check out Jay Nash live in a city near you with Justin Mozuka and The Gabe Dixon Band:
