Nick Ward has shared a Really Very Good new single, 'ALIEN'

Nick Ward has shared a new single, 'ALIEN'.

Written with Cub Sport's Tim Nelson, and co-produced by Lucianblomkamp, the track is taken from his new EP 'BRAND NEW YOU', which is set to arrive on 29th April.

Nick explains: "ALIEN feels like the mission statement of BRAND NEW YOU - it's the song that sets up the narrative and themes, while also being a bridge from my first EP, 'Everything I Wish I Told You'. The song is about queer masculinity and the binaries that hung over my head while I was in high school. I knew I didn't fit in there, at the all-boys school, but I also didn't feel completely seen when I went to most queer spaces with friends – 'I feel like an alien, in every single room I'm in'. I felt pressure to fit into one of these moulds – what I perceived as Australian hetero-masculinity, versus a queer masculine stereotype. Little did I know that there was a whole world of beauty and complexity in between the two. ALIEN is the final, fluid stage that I find myself in now – embracing ambiguity, complexity and the 'grey area'. I now have the confidence to be my own type of person, and the self respect to not let myself be boxed in."
