Review by Linda McDermott
Music is a powerful thing, whether it be the lyrics or the music or both. It can take you to places, good or bad. It can make you feel an array of emotions, remind you of moments and people and can help you escape dark places, that is the power of music.
And for Nur NH it is a way to heal and share her message of hope. Nur NH is a multi-lingual singer-songwriter who began her musical career back in 1996, writing and performing songs that span across genres by 2011 she was signed to US label World Media Alliance, enjoying success with her EP ‘Real Story’.
Upon her return to music, it was revealed that the charismatic artist had been involved in a terrible domestic situation for many years before escaping with her life, sanity and dreams intact. Like anyone who has been in this situation, she has been forever changed, but now she is a stronger and more determined musician than she has ever been, ready to take her power back and dominate stages with music, darker and heavier than before. Nur NH says of her new EP, “These songs represent a life struggle that many women and I face daily. It is an emotional journey of music ranging from extreme depression to the joyful feeling of survival.” Nur NH has written her songs as a cathartic way to heal herself and give hope to others. She says, “My music is what is saving me from the physical and mental scars and trauma that I still carry to this day.”
Listening to the tracks unfold I can hear inspiration and influences coming from the likes of Evanescence, full of feeling and passion. The tracks play out, telling you a story, that is a message of hope and survival, of purging demons and becoming stronger through the process.

This is an EP dedicated to women the world over, who suffer the torment of domestic violence, and it is Nur NH’s victory cry as she rises from the depths of hell, to pick up where she left off and thrive, immersing herself back into the world of music. Nur NH has this message to anyone who may resonate with her story. “Don’t be scared of the violence that may have been done to you. Leave, move on and
survive! Reach for your own happiness and find the feeling of freedom within yourself, because you are all you need to be complete. Show the world that you are strong, fearless and unbroken.”
The EP is available to download now.
