Better Without Me
Nelly Moar
WE SAY
'Better Without Me' is the latest single from rising Norwegian-British singer-songwriter Nelly Moar. Drawing on her jazz training at Bergen’s Grieg Academy and inspired by Cleo Sol, D’Angelo and Kaytranada, she crafts a distinctive blend of heartfelt soul and groove-driven R&B. Released last week and taken from her forthcoming EP 'Love’s Law' (24 October), the track with its warm, pop-infused rhythms and her evocative vocals reflects on heartbreak, healing and the need for self-protection. Honest and bittersweet, 'Better Without Me' featured on Spotify's New Music Friday Norway and would sound perfect on new pop and R&B playlists, alongside spins on Radio 1's Future Pop.
