Nicola Madill has emerged from the shadows of Scotland's east coast, enchanting audiences with her enigmatic blend of folk and gothic reverie.
Described as "hauntingly beautiful" by Gary Clark (Danny Wilson) and "spellbinding" by Roddy Hart (BBC Radio Scotland), Nicola conjures a world that draws listeners into its orbit, evoking a sense of timelessness and otherworldly grace.
Her music is a journey through realms both dark and luminous, where delicate melodies intertwine with spectral undertones, lingering like a dream just out of reach. Each soundscape is a dance of duality—an exploration of contrasts where beauty is found in both the hope of the dawn and the mystery of the dusk. Listeners are invited to lose themselves in this shifting interplay of light and shadow, as each song becomes a whispered tale of love, loss, and the unknown. Carried by a voice that drifts effortlessly between worlds, Nicola paints a portrait of experience where secrets are delicately held, and nothing is fully revealed.
Drawing inspiration from the ethereal storytelling of Kate Bush, the poetic depth of Joni Mitchell, and the atmospheric innovation of Radiohead, Nicola Madill crafts songs rich in literary imagery and symbolism. Infused with elements of tarot and the metaphysical, her work creates a potent, immersive offering and speaks to those on a journey of growth and awakening, with every note carrying a message of introspection, resilience, and the search for deeper meaning.
As her mystical journey unfolds, Nicola Madill is set to captivate an even wider audience in 2025, inviting all who listen into a realm where darkness and light intertwine, revealing the magic of their beautiful duality.
