Nathan Ball unveils "Rise Up Again" & new EP, 'Lost Track of Time'
“Rise Up Again” is a song about hopefulness and resilience and is the final track to be released from his new EP, Lost Track of Time. Everything about singer- songwriter Nathan Ball feels unforced. A natural, easy, calming presence, his music scales universal emotional highs with as much fluidity as it descends into moody introspection.
His latest single “Rise Up Again” is a song about hopefulness and resilience. Nathan shares, “It’s a song about being on the outside of someone’s struggle, wanting to help someone you love to bring them out of the darkness and let them know you are there for them.”
“Rise Up Again” is the final track to be released from his new EP, Lost Track of Time. The four-track EP also features singles “Stateline” which was written whilst on tour in Australia, trying to capture the spirit of life on the road. Then there is “Lover’s Game”, a song about the importance of loving yourself first in order for others to love you, as well as “Cover to Cover” which paints a picture of someone reflecting on a relationship that deeply impacted them, both for the better and the worse.
Based in Cornwall, the outdoors is a huge catalyst for much of Nathan's material, with the songwriter sharing, “It’s where I write best; by the sea, in the mountains, in the woods. I love being totally immersed in nature so naturally those themes find their way into the music. I love being in the ocean – just being in it and feeling totally insignificant. It’s a reminder of the order of things.”
Nathan’s work fuses two chief loves – classic songwriting and an eagerness to experiment and push sonic boundaries. Perhaps unexpectedly, he finds inspiration in left-field house music. “I love the way it makes you feel – it’s euphoric, but sad, introverted but expressive. I love that darker side of the genre.” His love for the electronic world led him to a feature with seminal British electronica act Faithless and as a result he is now touring as their vocalist, where this past summer they headlined festivals including Wilderness and The Glade Stage at Glastonbury and are now currently on a European headline tour.
Nathan’s songs have impressively amassed over 60 million streams to date. He’s had the pleasure of supporting artists such as Bon Iver, Van Morrison, Ziggy Alberts, Matthew and the Atlas, and has also performed at festivals including Boardmasters, Green Man, Secret Garden Party, British Summer Time, All Points East and many more. He recently wrapped up a successful tour across the UK, Germany and Amsterdam, where he performed to packed out venues filled with fans chanting his lyrics back to him.
Lost Track of Time is out now, with label partners V2 Records.
