Megan Nadin – “Bittersweet”

Hailing from Thunder Bay, this Canadian singer and songwriter grew up listening to her mother singing songs to her that were written by her grandmother. At 6 years old she started writing her own songs. However, feeling insecure led to her keeping her love for singing and writing songs behind closed doors and she became a teacher. In 2013 a teaching trip to Cambodia changed all that. Inspired by Adele, Bryan Adams and Amy Winehouse, she released her debut “Gypsy Sea” in 2018.

Exploring the fragile moments of love leading to healing from a heartache, her moving new single follows the emotional journey to acceptance. Wrapping her poetic, sentimental lyrics in a soft melody, this stunning song instantly radiates a comforting warmth from the mellow acoustic guitar. Adding soothing keys and a mild electric guitar completes her smooth sonic tapestry. But it’s the vulnerability in her storytelling vocals that makes this soul-stirring tune sound timeless.
