Nelda's latest single, "Everything Is Scary," offers a hauntingly introspective exploration of the anxieties surrounding voluntary displacement. Co-written with foreign songwriters settled in London, the song serves as a poignant preview of Nelda's upcoming concept album, slated for release in July 2024. 

Rooted in in-depth interviews and thematic discovery, "Everything Is Scary" taps into universal themes of fear, uncertainty, and resilience. From its opening notes, the song instantly captivates listeners with its evocative piano intro, setting the stage for a soul-stirring journey through the complexities of uncertainty. Nelda's dynamic vocals glide effortlessly over the R&B-infused melodies, weaving a narrative that resonates with raw emotion and authenticity.

At the heart of the song lies a collaboration that spans continents and cultures. Co-written with songwriters from Italy, Nigeria, Brazil, Argentina, Greece, Australia, Ukraine, Cyprus, and beyond, "Everything Is Scary" is a testament to the power of music to transcend borders and unite voices in shared experience.

The lush backing vocals add depth and texture to the song's sonic landscape, enhancing its emotional impact and drawing listeners deeper into its narrative. As Nelda's impassioned vocals intertwine with the soulful melodies, "Everything Is Scary" becomes more than just a song—it's a poignant reflection of the human experience in the face of uncertainty and upheaval. The instrumentation is sustained, ultimately allowing the true message of it all to come across. However, there are some lovely and intricate drums plus of course a beautiful horn solo.

As Nelda prepares to unveil her concept album later this year, "Everything Is Scary" stands as sheer proof to her artistry and vision. With its rich tapestry of sounds and its fearless exploration of universal themes, the song invites listeners to confront their fears and find solace in the beauty of shared experience. In an uncertain world, Nelda's music offers a beacon of hope and understanding, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, we are never truly alone.
