9 Sad Symphonies has arrived! Everyone at Kill Rock Stars is extremely proud to announce Kate Nash's 9 Sad Symphonies is officially out today! Along with the release of her KRS debut album Kate shares a new video for "Ray" directed by the fearless storyteller herself.
"''Ray' is about suicidal thoughts and finding a way through your pain, the journey of a struggle with mental health. Giving yourself the chance to struggle and figure something out. I did a livestream talk on my Patreon during the pandemic with the American Association of Suicidology as some of my fans were really struggling, we all were and we found support through each other. It was a really beautiful community building moment. We learnt a lot together and found ways to talk about these issues. I wrote this song for a fan on their birthday. I made the video whilst working on 'Only Gold' with some of the incredibly talented cast members of the show, we performed it live like a talent show in one of our dressing rooms and it was such a sweet experience, it felt so genuine and nerve wracking, everyone really allowed themselves to be so vulnerable and they're so beautifully talented I could have edited a million different versions of this music video!" - Kate Nash
9 Sad Symphonies was produced and mixed by Grammy winning Danish producer Frederik Thaae (K Flay, Jada, Crown The Empire). Marking a new chapter in Kate’s illustrious career, the album’s lyrical scope is both deeply personal and achingly relatable, whilst its orchestral arrangements and melodies draw from Kate’s experience in the world of musical theatre.
