My Brightest Diamond – the project of New York singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Shara Nova – has shared ‘Fight the Real Terror’, the title track from her forthcoming album Fight the Real Terror. The LP is out this Friday, September 13 via Western Vinyl, and like many of its songs, the title track was inspired by Sinéad O’Connor. Listen to it below.
“Fight the Real Terror is a question about activism, and about examining our vulnerabilities. I am not offering answers but a glimpse into these contemplations,” Nova said in an earlier statement about the album. “Writing quickly without orchestration forced me to be in the moment, focusing on structure rather than frill. I wrote & recorded a song a day in my home studio and rather than going back over to tweak, Tom Schick & I wanted to stay close to the unpolished emotion keeping the first drafts.”
