Rising Kildare-born talent Nell Mescal sings a melodic and relatable story about the conflicting, complicated emotions about longing for home in her new single 'Homesick'.

The down-tempo track was released via LAB records and produced by Steph Marziano, focusing on similar coming-of-age themes to her first offering. The Irish singer-songwriter's debut single, 'Graduating,' covered the growing pains and difficulties that come with leaving secondary school, like retaining friendships.

“I wrote 'Homesick' on a trip to LA. It's about when I first moved to London from Ireland and really missed home, but also being determined to stick it out so it doesn’t look like I failed at moving away,” explains Nell.

“The lyrics give a bit of insight to how hard it is to move away at a young age and the loneliness that comes with it, while the music is upbeat and hopeful to show that you can do hard things and that you can make a home wherever you go if you give it time."

'Homesick' was released on January 18th alongside the music video, listed below. On her Instagram, Mescal credits a crew of friends for filming the new video, including director Dora Paphides.

"I love this video soooooooo much it was the most fun to shoot with the most amazing people too!"
