Intertwining guitars immediately set the tone, driving the song forward with restless momentum while Nina’s commanding vocal becomes its emotional centrepiece. Urgent and increasingly impassioned as the track unfolds, her performance recalls the raw spirit of ’70s folk-rock, with flashes of Patti Smith’s fearless intensity woven throughout. Together, the guitars and vocals create a thrilling sense of anticipation that never lets up.

True to its inspiration, ‘Headfirst’ feels instinctive and untamed. It unfolds like an animal stalking its prey, patiently building tension before bursting into a final, exhilarating chase. Raw, immersive and impossible to ignore, the track captures the beauty of surrendering completely to emotion and instinct.

Best known as a member of the electrifying ‘Hagstone rock’ four-piece The New Eves, Winder-Lind’s solo work channels the same raw intensity and liberatory spirit while revealing a more intimate, deeply personal side to her songwriting. Expanding on the world introduced through her 2023 EP The Spirit Is Carnal and first poetry collection Röd Ska Jag Leva (2025), Wild Love is an ambitious and emotionally expansive body of work from one of the most enthralling new voices in music today.

Alongside the album announcement, Winder-Lind shares new single ‘Girls’, a triumphant, trembling anthem driven by electric guitar, layered trombone harmonies and her unmistakable vocal vibrato and devastating command of tone. Featuring some of Nina’s closest friends, the accompanying video was filmed in Brighton and directed by Silken Weinberg. ‘Girls’ follows the release of the album’s first single ‘This Is Our Life’, which blended folk-pop warmth with an upbeat, driving pulse.

Speaking about “Girls”, Nina says: “’Girls’ started as a poem, a kind of subconscious manifesto. It was one of those evenings when you’re home alone and somehow tap into something and it all pours out through you. Listing things that girls want to do was empowering but it also unearthed a deep sadness and heavy memories of loneliness.

“The song has both the triumph and the tremble. The assertiveness and all the questions. But maybe most importantly, the will to break through all walls, stereotypes and learned behaviours and create something for oneself. In my case it was music, and it is played on the electric guitar. The ultimate catharsis.”
