Welsh soul artist Nia Wyn announces ‘Magical Thinking’ EP; listen to new single 'Checkmate' now22/5/2022 Up and coming Welsh soul artist Nia Wyn has released her new single ‘Checkmate’. It is the third track to be revealed from her upcoming third EP ‘Magical Thinking’, set for release on 23rd June via Unity group. The release arrives during Glastonbury Festival, where Nia is performing as one of the shortlisted artists for the Emerging Talent competition. ‘Magical Thinking’ was written during the pandemic and finds Nia tackling issues of identity, belonging and issues around mental health, as she elaborates "This EP is a body of work that was largely written during the pandemic, and touches on the strong universal emotions everyone feels at some point - betrayal, lust, guilt, anxiety and a desire to feel like you belong somewhere. It follows up with similar themes of my last EP around identity and mental health.” The EP is the first body of work to be released by Nia since 2021’s ‘Take A Seat’ EP and is a 6 six track collection that proves 2022 is Nia’s year. Growing up in North Wales, Nia was exposed to a wide range of music from northern soul, the jazz-blues of Billie Holiday to hip hop icons Nas and Lauryn Hill. To date, Nia has attracted support from the likes of Spotify, Deezer, DIY, Wonderland, Clash, EARMILK, BBC Radio 1, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing and Radio Wales. In October 2020, Nia's track ‘Who Asked You’ was included in the FIFA 21 Soundtrack. In July 2021, Nia was awarded with a PPL Momentum Music Fund grant by PRS Foundation and joined Paul Weller on his sold out 2021 UK tour as well as headlining her own London show at Bermondsey Social Club in the winter of 2021. The track list for the ‘Magical Thinking’ EP is:
