Nahko And Medicine For The People Release New Single “Twisted,” Out Today On Medicine Tribe Records/Sideonedummy Records
“Self-Love Anthem” - BillboardLISTEN TO “TWISTED” HERE: https://youtu.be/VnBILZ52Ark
Nahko And Medicine For The People have released their self-reflective new single “Twisted,” the newest song from their forthcoming album ‘Take Your Power Back,’ out 5/15 on Medicine Tribe Records/SideOneDummy Records. Billboard called the song a “self-love anthem,” saying, “‘Twisted’ unwraps frontman Nahko's constant yearning to find love in others before coming to the conclusion that love starts with himself.” Listen to “Twisted” here: https://youtu.be/VnBILZ52Ark
In keeping with Nahko’s tradition of releasing music to coincide with the lunar calendar, “Twisted” arrives ahead of the new moon in Pisces and Mercury in retrograde. “Even though a lot of us typically are holding on by the seat of our pants during this time, it truly is a time of deepening and an opportunity for us to courageously swim through the depths of our consciousness and face our shadows,” says Nahko.
Fitting to this theme, Nahko strives for growth and faces the challenges that come from self-forgiveness on “Twisted.” “You are no exception, you’ve got to love yourself,” he sings.
“After spending so much time helping others find love for themselves, I realized my own well was empty,” Nahko told Billboard. “The idea of how twisted I had gotten my truths came to me one night and I penned the chorus right then and there. That truth and journey is to love oneself, your whole self, for all that you are and all that you are not.”
“Twisted” follows early album singles “Lifeguard,” “Slow Down,” and most recent release “Garden,” which have earned praise from Paste, Relix and American Songwriter. “Garden” landed on multiple New Music Friday playlists the week it arrived, as well as Spotify’s Renegade Folk and Apple Music Alt – Hot Tracks playlists.
Nahko And Medicine For The People will tour extensively in 2020, including performances at Lollapalooza Chile and Forecastle Festival. Full list of upcoming tour dates below, with more to be announced soon.
