Nadia Kadek just released some seriously refreshing Lemonade

British-Indonesian newcomer Nadia Kadek has released Lemonade-a breezy indie alt-pop gem that pours lyrical finesse over sun-soaked production and melodies laced with emotional subtlety.

At just 22, Nadia captures the tender ache of yearning for romance with quiet confidence and poetic clarity, establishing herself as a rising voice you’ll want to keep tabs on.

The single lands alongside a beautifully crafted official video directed by the multi-award winning writer (and director) Georgie Cowan-Turner best known for her work with Pale Waves and Matt Maltese, and a proud member of BAFTA Connect. Visuals meet vulnerability in a way that adds even more depth to this striking release.

“At the time I wrote Lemonade, it was about my hot and cold relationship with romance and intimacy. Feeling weak for relying on validation because it was the closest thing to love I could find (classic uni experience)."

Two years later, this song has grown to fit less into my life but I see it in so many of the people around me. It’s a celebration of longing, acknowledging how it’s one of the most human experiences we can have. Recording this song with huge drums and layers of sparkly guitars allowed my inner child to live out her teenage indie band dreams which was so cool.

You know that moment when someone drops their first single and it’s so good you’re like omg who is this?! That was Nadia Kadek when I first heard Feeling It All-a gorgeously stripped-down alt-pop track that had this soft, emotional pull, and clearly resonated with so many people because she earnt multiple plays and a debut on BBC Radio 1, interviewed on BBC 6 Music, and got early shout-outs from tastemakers like NME, CLASH, COLORS and Music Week-casual flex.

Nadia grew up in the countryside of Norfolk, describes herself as a “festival baby” (love that), and her early music memories are the kind that make you nostalgic-Florence + The Machine and Jeff Buckley playing in the car on the way to camp. Fast forward to Nadia performing at Glastonbury last year AND this year after placing runner-up in their emerging talent competition, her story is already one of full-circle moments and quietly extraordinary determination.

Now Nadia's based in the Big Smoke (London) and has been quietly building a following just by doing what she does best-playing incredible live shows, booking them herself, and basically doing her thing until her talent turned heads at Transgressive Records leading to a swift signing. Nadia Kadek is one to keep your eye on. You’re gonna want to say you knew her when.

Together, Lemonade and Feeling It All offer a sneak peek into what’s coming next-a project soaked in that late-summer haze, full of heart and memory. It leans into the ache of nostalgia, the complexities of family, the spark of fleeting love, and the kind of quiet strength it takes to forgive. It’s intimate and expansive all at once, and the vibe is unmistakably Nadia.

Lemonade and Feeling It All are on all streaming platforms now.
