Nina Nesbitt - Pressure Makes Diamonds (Live Performance) Can you believe it’s been nearly a decade since Nina Nesbitt’s ‘Peroxide’ twinkled across the sky? Its feisty folk-pop endeared the Scottish singer to a legion of fans with carefree jams like “Stay Out” and vulnerable ballads like “Hold You.“ Overnight success forced the then-teen to grow up fast, and she leaned into those emotions on the moody ballads of her follow-up, ‘The Sun Will Come Up, the Seasons Will Change.’ Wise title from a wise voice. Once again, fans connected. “The Moments I’m Missing” and “Is It Really Me You’re Missing” have more than 150 million streams combined. After some time off, Nesbitt is back in action, sharing her uplifting sound strives to uplift. Her third album 'Älskar' arrives in September, and its title means “love“ in Swedish. It’s also the word we’d use to describe how we feel about this performance of “Pressure Makes Diamonds.” Go Nina.
