Nina Winder-Lind (from The New Eves) Announces debut solo album "Wild Love"

Brighton-based Swedish songwriter, poet and multi-instrumentalist Nina Winder-Lind today announces her debut solo album Wild Love, released on 14 August 2026 via Transgressive. Pre-order/save it HERE.

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.”

Produced by longtime collaborator Jack Ogborne (Bingo Fury, The Cindys), Wild Love was recorded across two Bristol studios, one beneath the iconic Louisiana venue and another inside a converted church. Winder-Lind is joined throughout by her live band, including fellow New Eves member Ella Oona Russell, alongside Finlay Burrows, Edward Deeney and Toma Sapir, with additional contributions from Francesca Brierley (heka, Dorothy).

Though connected to the fierce communal energy of The New Eves, Wild Love inhabits its own distinct emotional landscape. Across eleven songs, Winder-Lind brings together the wealth of her experiences and passions and reflects them back outwards, distilled with shimmering intensity. The album spells out a liberatory vision which she refuses to compromise, one rooted in emotional honesty, ecstatic expression and unfettered selfhood.

Female experience is a constant thread throughout the record, with songs paying tribute to “foremothers” and girls alike in a society that still attempts to pigeonhole women into narrow roles. Yet Wild Love reaches beyond resistance alone. More than anything, the album radiates untrammelled animal energy: an overwhelming sense of aliveness, movement and emotional abandon.

Originally conceived as an EP before evolving into a full-length with the support of Transgressive, the album combines some of Winder-Lind’s earliest songs with more recent work, united by a singular artistic vision. Central to the album is the electric guitar, both as instrument and symbol, representing the liberatory force of rock’n’roll and the freedom to express feeling in its rawest form.

The album’s title encapsulates its driving spirit: profound connection to the natural world, romantic and platonic love, and devotion to the people, landscapes and moments that shape a life. Familiar motifs for fans of The New Eves - wildness, mysticism and defiance - are expanded here into something more intimate and autobiographical, threaded through with longing, tenderness and desire.

Speaking about the album, Nina says:

“The kind of base line is that I am alive... I’m so alive and I’m so grateful for that. You get to do all these things and feel all these things and you’re in a body and you get to express yourself and you have to or you’re gonna explode.

They’re all love songs, really. Romantic love, love for my family, my friends, love for the landscape. It’s about intense emotional entanglement with other beings.”

Raised in Stockholm and based in Brighton, Winder-Lind’s artistic identity has been shaped equally by Sweden’s landscapes and the city’s thriving music and activist communities. Across both her solo work and collaborations, her songwriting is defined by a profound connection to life’s intensity, channelled through searing vocals, fearless performance and songs that demand to be felt fully.

Wild Love arrives following the breakout success of The New Eves’ acclaimed debut album The New Eve Is Rising, one of 2025’s most celebrated records, praised by Clash as “an unforgettable debut” while The Guardian wrote in their lead review that “it feels exciting, as does their future.”

Leaving a searing impression, Wild Love demands that we seize life’s very essence with both hands, and do so entirely on our own terms.
