[WATCH] Nana Rashid’s bluesy single releases her pain / They Call It Love

Nana fights the label of a woman with a powerful jazz single.

On International Women’s day, Danish Jazz singer Nana Rashid released her new video for the powerful yet sombre jazz single – They Call It Love.

“This has most definitely been the hardest song to write a post about.” Nana Rashid wrote beneath the video on Youtube. “I have been so afraid of being judged and ending up in the very same place as I ended up in the story I am about to tell. But here it goes.”

“The song is about what I call “The They Call It Love dead end”. It’s about all of the times the label woman has gotten in the way of me being me or just being. One of my missions is to start calling things by their right names. I wrote this song in an angry state. Some years back, I received my very first review (a big thing for me), and I was told I had flirted my way to the outcome. Never having met the reviewer before and having worked incredibly hard on my live performance, this comment was angering – when I opposed the remark, I was told it was only a joke and meant out of love – and there I was trapped yet again in the conversation – “The They Call It Love dead end”. A very frustrating conversation dead end to be cornered in. And the song was born just there.”

Written and performed by Nana, the melancholy mood of They Call It Love is compelling. Though sombre, the darkness in Nanas’ voice is alluring, emotionally powerful and distinct. The engrossing video (see above) is deliberately devoid of gimmicks or flourishes, focusing instead on her message – listen and learn.

The arrangement features Benjamin Nørholm Jacobsen on piano, Martin Brunbjerg Rasmussen on double bass, and Lasse Jacobsen on drums.

We, listeners, crave emotional connections to music, so expanding our soulful circle into jazz comes naturally to us, so it’s not a huge leap to include the voices of Ida Sand, Viktoria Tolstoy or Nana Rashid into our soulful scene. Thoughtfulness, chills and tears, Nana Rashid arouses them all.
