Brighton-based Swedish songwriter, poet, and multi-instrumentalist Nina Winder-Lind has announced her debut solo album, Wild Love, scheduled for release on August 14th, 2026, via Transgressive Records. Best recognised for channelling a fierce, primal intensity as a core member of the acclaimed alternative four-piece The New Eves, Winder-Lind’s solo endeavour expands on the vivid universe introduced through her 2023 EP The Spirit Is Carnal and her 2025 debut poetry collection Röd Ska Jag Leva. The project balances the raw, communal energy of her band work with an autobiographical vulnerability, offering a deeply intimate exploration of longing, defiance, and ecstatic selfhood.
The announcement is spearheaded by the premiere of her new single “Girls,” a triumphant yet trembling anthem anchored by a commanding electric guitar, sweeping vocal vibrato, and layered trombone harmonies. Originating as a raw, late-night poem that lists the desires and complexities of the female experience, the track serves as a cathartic, empowering push against narrow societal stereotypes. The single follows the warm, folk-pop pulse of the album’s initial preview track, “This Is Our Life,” and arrives alongside a Brighton-filmed music video directed by Silken Weinberg that prominently features several of Winder-Lind’s closest friends.
Of the single, Nina expands,
“’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… 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), Wild Love was recorded live to tape across two distinct Bristol locations: a studio space beneath the legendary Louisiana venue and a converted historic church. The tracking sessions leaned heavily into an uncompromised, living momentum, with Winder-Lind backed by her regular live band, including fellow New Eves member Ella Oona Russell, Finlay Burrows, Edward Deeney, and Toma Sapir. To celebrate the album’s mid-August arrival, Winder-Lind has lined up a pair of exclusive, intimate release-week in-store performances at Rough Trade East in London and Rough Trade Bristol.
