Nell Mescal shares new single ‘Carried Away’
Her single - which was recorded over in Brooklyn - doubles as her first official release through her new label home of Atlantic Records.

A few months on from sharing her live demo ‘Thin’, Nell Mescal has returned with her first single proper of 2025. What’s more, ‘Carried Away’ doubles as her debut official release through her new label home of Atlantic Records.
Recorded during a series of recent recording sessions over in Brooklyn with producer Philip Weinrobe (who’s worked with the likes of Adrianne Lenker, Billie Marten and Cass McCombs), the warm, inviting ‘Carried Away’ is - as Nell explains - “a song about asking for reassurance from someone you’re in a tumultuous relationship with and being disappointed by their answer. Instead of saying they love you back, they say they just got carried away.”
Speaking of recording the track, she added: “The demo of this vs the finished product is so different and it was so exciting to create in the studio. I played it with just me and a guitar for the band and after playing it once everyone joined in and it immediately became clear the direction we were headed in. Philip had some amazing ideas. We thought about doing a lyric change in the second pre-chorus and he had the entire band play the same section over and over again while I wrote as quickly as possible…and it really elevated the song.”
Her new single lands after the Irish singer has had a busy summer of festival spots, with a few shows still to come. Check out the gorgeous video for ‘Carried Away’ - as directed by Lola Webster - below, and check out Nell’s upcoming live shows underneath the player.
