‘Love, I’m On Fire’ is the emotional focus track from Jodie Nicholson’s sophomore album Safe Hands, showcasing her exceptional talent for blending introspection with rich, atmospheric soundscapes. The track features undulating synths and a tender orchestral backdrop, highlighting Jodie’s vulnerability. Her reed-like vocals convey deep emotion, intensified by the rawness of her performance during recording.

Jodie Nicholson’s ability to merge brooding chamber-pop with synth-laden alt-pop creates a captivating listen. The song’s orchestration, featuring warm piano tones, underscores the personal and emotional themes, making ‘Love, I’m On Fire’ a standout track that resonates deeply with listeners. As she prepares for her UK tour in June, this single sets a high bar for what promises to be an exhilarating musical journey.

“During recording lead vocal takes, for a split second I couldn’t hold it together. I cried in the middle of Blank Studios, took a ten minute break, had a very nice chat with my engineer Luke (who was very lovely about it) and went back in to record a few more takes. I think you can tell my voice is a little more shaky/emotional than usual. The piano part was born from me messing around on my walk back into the control room after recording some vocal takes. I asked Luke if we could mic up the older piano in Blank, which has a gorgeous warmth to it, and dropped it in. It was one of my favourite moments/parts I recorded. I love how un-planned it was, it adds so much to that section.”
