Jodie Nicholson captivates with ‘Love, I’m On Fire’, from sophomore album

‘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.”
