Recently featured in the Richard Gere lead BBC drama Mother Father Son, Nina Schofield’s new track ‘The Gift’ gets a cool, classy music video, showcasing Nina’s amazing vocal range and emotive, raw presence. We love it.
Speaking of the track she says: “I wrote The Gift to celebrate that feeling you have in a relationship where you know that this person is someone you could spend the rest of you life with. I went back to my roots writing this – just the piano and my voice – this I how I first started writing and it’s where I feel at home. That’s why it was important to keep the song in acoustic form even though it’s a step away from my usual pop style.”
She goes on to add: “The director of ‘Mother, Father, Son’ contacted my manager initially wanting my band and I to appear on the show performing covers but he happened to ask whether we wrote music as he was searching for a song for a wedding scene – it just so happened that I write so I got to work straight away sent it over and he loved it. Before we filmed my parts I was able to watch some scenes unfold from behind the camera involving my song which was amazing – hearing my own music being played whilst these incredibly talented and respected actors did their thing was a real pinch me moment.”
