Miss Leading's tongue-in-cheek new single 'Self Help' is a lighthearted, synth-pop Peaches-meets-Devo commentary of the self-improvement and wellness industry, offering solutions to the issues you never knew you had. Slated for release only three months after the release of her debut album, Minor Thing, her bubbly Self Help track illustrates the intriguing marriage of spoken-word and art-pop, a sound that Miss Leading (Nadia Freeman) honed both in the UK and in Wellington, after returning to the city in 2020.
Nadia says, “I wrote this song on a day when I was feeling overwhelmed by multiple expectations that seemed to tug in every direction. My song Self Help punches back at the self help and wellness industry profiting off our insecurities and the constant barrage of advice we all get on how to live our lives. This is a fun bouncy number, a chance to forget about daily pressures and just have a dance.”
Miss Leading is an electronic music producer, singer, and poet. Composing music on a unique Wellington-made synthesiser (the Synthstrom Deluge), her music aims to widen your mind while moving your body with her unique style of electronic pop/synth pop with conscious lyrics.
