“Headfirst” by Nina Winder-Lind

Nina Winder-Lind, shares new single “Headfirst,” the track is off the artist’s forthcoming debut solo album, Wild Love, available August 14 via Transgressive. Of the new track, the Brighton-based, Swedish songwriter and multi-instrumentalist says: “”Headfirst” is the amalgamation of two elements; a spoken poem that I made whilst out on a walk in my neighbourhood, and an odd two harmony guitar riff that I recorded on GarageBand and labeled ‘television guitar.’ The song is a declaration of existence and an ode to movement and emotion. It’s an animal song.” Lind, is also known as a member of the The New Eves.
Winder-Lind’s solo work channels the same raw intensity and liberatory spirit of The New Eves, while revealing a more intimate, deeply personal side to her songwriting. Expanding on the world introduced through her 2023 EP The Spirit Is Carnal and her first collection of poetry, Röd Ska Jag Leva (2025), Wild Love is an ambitious and emotionally expansive body of work from one of the most enthralling new voices in music today. Leaving a searing impression, it demands that we seize life’s very essence with both hands, and do so entirely on our own terms.
Produced by longtime collaborator Jack Ogborne (Bingo Fury, The Cindys), Wild Love was recorded across two Bristol studios, one beneath the iconic Louisiana venue and another inside a converted church. Winder-Lind is joined throughout by her live band, including fellow New Eves member Ella Oona Russell, alongside Finlay Burrows, Edward Deeney and Toma Sapir, with additional contributions from Francesca Brierley (heka, Dorothy).
The album’s title encapsulates its driving spirit: profound connection to the natural world, romantic and platonic love, and devotion to the people, landscapes, and moments that shape a life. Familiar motifs for fans of The New Eves—wildness, mysticism and defiance—are expanded here into something more intimate and autobiographical, threaded through with longing, tenderness and desire.
“The kind of base line is that I am alive,” Winder-Lind says of Wild Love. “I’m so alive and I’m so grateful for that. You get to do all these things and feel all these things and you’re in a body and you get to express yourself and you have to or you’re gonna explode.”
She continues: “They’re all love songs, really. Romantic love, love for my family, my friends, love for the landscape. It’s about intense emotional entanglement with other beings.”
