Nardia’s “Is It You”: A Soulful Love Song

Nardia is back with a banger. Australian singer released her latest single, “Is It You“. This interesting song is the first preview of her upcoming album Own Every Scar, and it hints at an album full of emotionally charged narratives.

“Is It You” takes cues from the silky textures of Childish Gambino and the emotionally charged narratives of Adele and Carole King. The song explores the complexities of love and desire. Nardia explains to us, “Is It You captures that moment of intrigue when you meet someone and feel an irrepressible pull towards them. There is that moment of fire, but beneath the surface are questions such as: Who are they beyond what they show the world? Is the relationship genuine or just the thrill of the unknown?“

The song’s minimalist production forces Nardia’s commanding voice to remain in the spotlight, bringing an emotional depth to the music that penetrates deeply. Its accompanying music video by Matthew Kelley is situated in a retro-style diner where reality and fantasy blur into a world of dreams that accurately reflects the questioning and uncertainty motifs of the song.

Nardia’s rise to the top has been marked by many milestones, including a Top 5 finish at the 2025 International Blues Challenge in Memphis. With performances with legends Russell Morris and Tex Perkins, and exclusive sets for Beyoncé and Adele’s Australian tours, Nardia has proved she has what it takes to entertain on the world’s biggest stages.
