Australian-Egyptian singer-songwriter Nardean has graced us with her latest single, ‘Follow Thru,’ and it’s a musical exploration of self-discovery and embracing one’s multifaceted nature

‘Follow Thru’ is a song that delves into the complexities of Nardean’s personality. It’s a candid look at the inner struggle between two contrasting sides of herself—one that’s loving, generous, and caring, and the other that’s stubborn, determined, and ruthless. This duality is beautifully reflected in the song’s composition and lyrics.

The journey of creating ‘Follow Thru’ was itself a testament to Nardean’s dedication to her craft. The song’s evolution was a puzzle, with pieces coming together at different times. It started with a beat, chorus, and the first verse during a session with producer Hamley in Melbourne. But it took time to find the missing elements and the right groove. The addition of a garage tempo in the second half of the song added depth and complexity to the track, mirroring the conflicting sides of Nardean’s personality.

One unique feature of ‘Follow Thru’ is the voice memo at the end of the song, where a male voice cheers her on. This personal touch adds an intimate dimension to the track, giving listeners a glimpse into the support and encouragement she receives from her friends.

As Nardean continues to make music that reflects her authentic self, ‘Follow Thru’ stands as a testament to her talent and willingness to share her personal evolution with the world. It’s a must-listen for those who appreciate introspective and emotionally charged music that speaks to the heart and soul.
