nicha’s powerful new track “little bird” is ode to the sufferers of mental and physical domestic abuse
“She” wanted to break free from the chains of a toxic relationship but didn’t believe that she possessed the power. “little bird” evokes a fragile innocence and vulnerability of someone who dreams of their independence, someone who has always had the strength to set themselves free. nicha’s will be releasing her exciting new single on the 2nd of October.
“Little bird” defies genre. nicha and her producer Michael Mormecha have taken elements from electronica, folk and reggae to create something so unique and individual. nicha describes a powerful story using poetic lyrics and addictive melodies. Combined with her rich and unusual voice, little bird is incomparable to anything you will have heard.
Little bird is a call to those who are subject to mental and physical abuse in any relationship, nicha hopes to spread a message and to let her listeners know that you can have the strength to make yourself happy, let that be through making a difficult decision in escaping a toxic relationship.
nicha hopes to spread hope and awareness to all genders and whoever may be facing both mental and physical abuse.
“I feel there is a taboo around talking about domestic abuse, mental and physical. Women are suffering, men are suffering, there are so many victims even in this day and age. We need to raise awareness and remind people to talk more.”

It gave me a lot of inspiration and insight into other people’s lifestyles and ways of thinking giving me a lot to write about.” – Nicha.
