THE ICONIC DUO HEAT UP THE NIGHT WITH 2 BLAZING NEW SINGLES
ABOUT THE SONGS
Building on the momentum gained by their first two back-to-back singles, ‘My Dark’ and ‘Bluesbreaker’, this unstoppable duo unleash, ’Tokyo Cowboy’ and ‘Don’t Trust the Night’.
Though sharing the common theme of night, each track, sonically and lyrically, stands its own ground, in keeping with the artists’ ‘jukebox single’ ethos.
‘TOKYO COWBOY’
( May 31st )
The track invokes a dreamlike, shadowy underworld at night—imagine a soundtrack to a yakuza style romance. Dark yet playful at the same time, it’s destined to inspire visualisation in the listener.
NINA’s breathy delivery shimmers through the darkness, teasing out the scenario: “The shadow game has begun... Future without a past.”
A down-and-dirty dance beat propels an imaginative fusion of lush synths, biting rock guitar, Japanese Taiko drum, flute, wind chimes and radio frequency SFX, courtesy of Radio Wolf. Sonic cinematic exhilaration.
‘DON’T TRUST THE NIGHT’
( June 7th )
In contrast to the breathy, playful chill of her delivery on ‘Tokyo Cowboy’, this song finds NINA expressing a tender vocal assurance to lovers to trust one another through the emotional darkness of ‘the night’.
A slow burning intensity builds. Lyrics like, “I wanna hold on to you baby” are delivered with delicate nuance expressing emotions held under control.
Her voice smoulders through a nightscape of Radio Wolf’s slow throbbing beat, uncanny synth moves and edgy, twitchy guitar which eventually erupts into a swirling, ringing anthem of confidence and trust.

( shares her thoughts )
“We had such a great response to ‘Tokyo Cowboy’ as our opening song while touring in Europe this spring, it was a natural for the next single.
‘Don’t Trust the Night’ seemed to fit it thematically. We didn’t write the songs with that purpose however; we wrote each with its own story to tell.
We have more gigs in the UK and Europe later this year—these two will be the opening songs for sure.”
RADIO WOLF
( shares his thoughts )
“Crafting songs, these two included, tends to unleash this dark, romantic spirit in us.
The process is an intoxicating escape from the routine realities of everyday life—like tuning into a long-lost song playing on a radio somewhere out there in the night…”
