Ninå thrills with sweeping new folk-pop-rock release, ‘Truth or Dare’!
They say falling in love is like a gamble; you never quite know if you’re going to win big or lose it all. Ukrainian pop vocalist Nina expounds some timely wisdom, drawing from lived experiences. She is blessed with a pleasing yet powerful voice that she puts to great use with compelling lyrics and a stirring folk-rock soundscape in ‘Truth or Dare’!
The track opens onto brooding, contrasting guitar tones, creating a sense of intrigue and mystery for whats about to unfold. Nina begins to share melodically about the chance she’s taking on a new relationship and how important it is to develop bit of thick skin. Especially when you’re playing fast and loose.
Soft groovy pop rock arrangements swell into a dramatic chorus. Nina declares with a detached sense, ‘All in love they say is fair….. when you’re playing truth or dare..’. Its the kind to relatable prose that anyone’s who’s ever loved and lost will engage with. Choral backing vocals add to sense of drama and high stakes in the whole situation.
Simple melodic grooves and driving pop harmonies make for an engaging listen. Bolstered by sweeping drums and soulful guitar solos, the track hits deep. Moving at a leisurely tempo, ‘Truth or Dare’ loops through verses with confident ease.
Nina’s vocal presence is no doubt the star of this piece. What we admire is her raw, unique tenor, reflected in her accent. It breaks the mold of what you’d expect from a pop rock vocalist.
‘Truth or Dare’ is produced and mastered well in a way that complements her voice. Never does the instrumentation dominate the mix, yet it’s the accessible arrangement that makes this a memorable listen.
