The Healing Nature Of Music With NUR NH

Interview by Kris Peters
After starting her career back in 1996, multilingual
singer-songwriter Nur NH quickly set her sights on a global
audience, signing with US label World Media Alliance in 2011 and
enjoying success with her EP Real Story.
She found herself on the cusp of something special, but then
suddenly vanished from music in 2013, not re-emerging for a
decade.
In a tale too unnerving to be told by anyone but herself, Nur NH
found herself in an abusive relationship which shattered her dreams
and nearly cost her her life.
From that period of desolation, Nur NH has somehow managed to
regain her drive and focus, with the first step on her path of
healing coming in the form of her comeback EP Unbroken, which will
be released on November 11.
To help celebrate her first steps back into music and life in
general, the singer has released the lead single from Unbroken, a
mesmerising tale of survival called I'm Done With You.
HEAVY sat down with Nur NH earlier this week to discuss her new
music.
"I started my career in 1996 as a singer," she explained, "and then
I played with a rock band in 2007 and then released my first EP
Real Story in 2011 through US label World Media Alliance. Then I
stopped my career in 2013 with my personal reasons, and then I just
came back to playing music again in 2022 and now here I am."
We ask how it feels to be back making music again and how the first
single has been received.
"It's really good," she smiled. "It's a really special song for me
and means a lot for me because I'm Done With You is the first song
that I wrote after 10 years of stop playing music. I'm really
happy. I'm happy because I came back again to play music after 10
years."
In the full interview, Nur NH discusses I'm Done With You
musically, runs us through the music video which was filmed in
Borneo and why, the cleansing nature of music, regaining her feet
in the scene, talks us through each of the four tracks on Unbroken
and the meaning behind them, upcoming shows and more.
