Fresh off the release of her debut EP Mirrors & Smoke, alt-acoustic artist Nicole Alexis (stylized as N/A) is embarking on an exciting new chapter. The singer-songwriter has officially announced her signing to Hard Working Record Company, joining a diverse roster of rising talent that includes Rachel Grae, Earth To Eve, naarjesse, and Billie Reekie.
To celebrate this milestone, N/A has unveiled her label debut, the evocative new single “Goodbye.” The track serves as a deeply personal exploration of growth and transition. Reflecting on the song’s meaning, N/A shares: “‘Goodbye’ is really about mourning an older version of yourself. It’s about outgrowing patterns, relationships, and identities that once felt safe, even when they were hurting you. I wanted the song to capture that emotional tension between wanting to move forward while still desperately trying to hold onto what’s familiar.”
Over the past few years, N/A has cultivated a dedicated following by sharing stripped-back, looped covers of tracks from iconic acts like Billy Corgan’s Smashing Pumpkins, My Chemical Romance, and Dashboard Confessional. Her ability to reinterpret these fan favorites has solidified her reputation as a compelling voice in the modern acoustic scene.
Her songwriting prowess is further showcased on Mirrors & Smoke, which features the standout single “Don’t Tell Me To Breathe.” The track gained significant traction following its inclusion in the launch of Fender’s Quantum LT. Additionally, her track “Just A Friend” continues to resonate with fans, having been teased during her performance at the Vans Warped Tour on The Unplugged Stage in Orlando. As she steps into this new partnership, fans can look forward to more music from Nicole Alexis in the near future.
