Nell Mescal announces new EP ‘The Closest We’ll Get’

After teasing the prospect of a new project throughout the summer, Irish singer-songwriter Nell Mescal has now announced plans to release her brand new EP later this year.

Set to follow on from last year’s ‘Can I Miss It For A Minute?’, her new EP ‘The Closest We’ll Get’ is due for release on 24th October via her new label home of Atlantic Records, and was recorded over in Brooklyn, NY with Philip Weinrobe on production duties. What’s more, it’ll include her recently-released single ‘Carried Away’, which landed last month.

“’The Closest We’ll Get’ is a collection of songs that tell a story about two people and how their relationship is in the grey area of friends or lovers,” Nell has said of her forthcoming release. “Each song is a realisation of how sitting in the in-between affected me and in turn affected the ‘friendship.’”

Alongside news of her newest release, Nell has shared the EP’s gorgeous, folk-flecked title track, and also confirmed plans for a hefty UK and Ireland headline tour, set to take place this November and December.
