  • Electropop Artist, Nearly a Nation, Keeps Momentum Going With Songs of

    From sunofmusic@21:1/5 to All on Thu Apr 21 08:27:45 2016
    Columbus, Ohio-based electropop singer/songwriter/producer Nick Long, also known as Nearly a Nation, is releasing his new album "Conquest" on April 14th, featuring inspiring stories and extraordinary sounds after a year of hard work and dedication. NaN's
    music talent and sense of national consciousness is sure to make this album stand out and shine within the electronic music scene.

    Conquest is the second album of what NaN alludes to as a seven-part series, one he plans to finish over the course of the next five to six years. Despite tackling such heavy topics as mass surveillance on the track "Strange Days" and government
    corruption on "Tornado," one still has the sense NaN remains optimistic with tracks like "Pioneers" and "You and I Will Be Alright." Long's ability to juxtapose critiques of our current world with hope for the future gives meaning to his moniker, Nearly
    a Nation.

    "Conquest" Track Listing:
    1. Strange Days
    2. Pioneers
    3. Tornado
    4. I Wanna Feel Everything
    5. Improvise
    6. All We Want
    7. You and I Will Be Alright
    8. Weightless
    9. Nothing Comes Close to You
    10. The Beginning All Over Again

    When expressing his ideologies in his music, NaN does the writing, recording and mixing all by himself as a one person band. In addition, he also designed a number of the tonal/instrumental sounds himself for Conquest. His debut self-released album
    Outburst proved his musical ability by winning him Best Song Dance/Electronica for January 2016 from The Akademia, which described his single 'Radiate' as "demonstrating unusual vocal talent and musical imagination... [and it] may very well be the power
    pop vehicle to lift Nearly a Nation to the global stage."
