INTERVIEW
"I Love Change": Nieve Ella on Her Debut Album, How Long Will It Take?
After first picking up the guitar during lockdown, Nieve Ella quickly found her way into the music landscape by sharing covers online before releasing her debut single “Girlfriend” back in 2022. Since then, the West Midlands singer-songwriter has built a growing fanbase with her honest, guitar-driven sound, released several EPs and taken her music on the road, supporting peers like Inhaler, Dylan and girl in red. Now, she has reached another milestone with her debut album How Long Will It Take, a deeply personal record exploring anger, vulnerability, relationships and the ever-changing process of growing up and evolving. We sat down with the singer before her acoustic set at Dussmann in Berlin to talk about the journey so far, the stories behind the album, life on tour, and learning to embrace change.

Andy
