Nina Winder-Lind (from The New Eves) Releases new solo single & video, “Headfirst”

Brighton-based Swedish songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nina Winder-Lind, best known as a member of the electrifying 'hagstone rock' band The New Eves, today shares her new single and video, "Headfirst" (listen/watch HERE), taken from her forthcoming debut solo album Wild Love, released 14 August via Transgressive (pre-order/save HERE).

Built around intertwining guitars and propulsive live drums, "Headfirst" begins as a restrained, rhythm-led groove before steadily expanding into an exhilarating full-band crescendo.

At its centre is Winder-Lind's unmistakable smoky vocal, delivering a song that is both deeply personal and joyfully untamed.

Speaking about the song, Nina says:

“Headfirst is the amalgamation of two elements; a spoken poem that I made whilst out on a walk in my neighbourhood, and an odd two harmony guitar riff that I recorded on garage band and labeled ’television guitar’. The song is a declaration of existence and an ode to movement and emotion. It’s an animal song.”

"Headfirst" follows recent singles “This Is Our Life” and “Girls”, offering another glimpse into Wild Love ahead of its release next month.

The album marks Winder-Lind's first solo full-length, following her acclaimed 2023 EP The Spirit Is Carnal and 2025 poetry collection Röd Ska Jag Leva. It also arrives after a breakthrough year with The New Eves, whose debut album The New Eve Is Rising was hailed by Clash as "an unforgettable debut", while The Guardian wrote in its lead review that "it feels exciting, as does their future." The record also appeared in end-of-year lists from Dork, Loud & Quiet and Hard Of Hearing.

Raised in Stockholm and based in Brighton, Winder-Lind's artistic voice has been shaped equally by Sweden's vast landscapes and Brighton's vibrant music and activist communities. Across both her solo work and collaborations, she channels life's emotional intensity through fearless songwriting, searing vocals and performances that invite complete immersion. While The New Eves thrive on collective energy, Wild Love reveals a more intimate and deeply personal side of her songwriting.

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).

Originally conceived as an EP before growing into a full-length with the support of Transgressive, Wild Love gathers songs written across several years into a remarkably cohesive statement. Across its eleven tracks, Winder-Lind explores love in all its forms, romantic, platonic, familial and spiritual, while celebrating emotional honesty, instinct and the freedom to live unapologetically.

Female experience runs throughout the album, from songs honouring "foremothers" to reflections on girlhood and the ways women continue to be constrained by expectation. Yet Wild Love reaches beyond resistance. At its heart, it is an album overflowing with movement, desire and the exhilaration of simply being alive.

The electric guitar sits at the centre of the record, serving not only as its defining instrument but as a symbol of liberation and emotional expression. Familiar themes from The New Eves, wildness, mysticism and defiance, remain present, but here they are refracted through a more autobiographical lens, rich with tenderness, longing and vulnerability.
