Bringing authenticity and resilience in the face of adversity, ‘Take Me As I Am’ is the powerful new single from Australian artist, Nardia, and an incredible addition to her already burgeoning discography.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

‘Take Me As I Am’ is out now and is available to stream and download here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A soulful anthem reminiscent of the likes of Rita Ora, Erykah Badu, and Dua Lipa, ‘Take Me As I Am’ encourages the listener to examine their true selves, and embrace who they truly are, without first considering the expectations put on us by society. Heartfelt lyrics and a driving, earworming chorus, as well as strongly emotive melodies, the track is a reminder to always keep first and foremost aware that what makes us imperfect is what’s actually unique and special about us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Take Me As I Am’ was created in collaboration with Rhyno Productions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with her talented band supporting her, Nardia has over the past year performed at a slew of Australian festivals, including the Queenscliff Music Festival, Bendigo Blues and Roots Festival, and Inverloch Jazz Festival. Her previous release, ‘Put Your Hands On Me’, saw Nardia headline a sold-out show, and has received both national and international radio airplay, ensuring her place in the soul pantheon. Additionally, she also won the Soul\/ Blues challenge for Australia, and will be representing her country in Memphis at the International Blues Awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Take Me As I Am’ is out now and is available to stream and download here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find out more about Nardia and her music online on Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0Facebook<\/a>, Spotify<\/a>, and Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
