Nia Wyn – 'Who Asked You'

Fresh off the back of an incredibly impressive debut EP, soul powerhouse Nia Wyn blesses us with another brilliant single defending her title as CEO of standing your ground.  

‘Who asked you’ calls out everyone who has a tendency to vocalise uncalled for criticism or finds pleasure in sowing doubts and puts those negative Nancies in their place with a confidence that, let’s be honest, we all wish we had. Nia’s instantly recognisable vocals stand out from a backdrop of smooth beats and soul-infused trumpets, both drawing attention to her to-the-point lyricism. It’s a track that says it all in unmistakable terms – “Don’t you get upset it was not your fault. No, common sense’s not in your arsenal. You were an arsehole laughing in my face like my dreams were a fable.”

Talking about ‘Who Asked You’ Nia explains: “For me this track is about being faced with unsolicited opinions from others - whether that’s from judgemental people you knew back home who always doubted you or called you unstable and weird because you didn’t fit in with others. There’s also the message of what goes around comes around in some way and how that negative energy people build up will ultimately hold them back whether that’s now or later on.”
