About Nothing's Real

Shura has announced details of her much-anticipated debut album, Nothings Real, which will be released on Polydor Records on July 8th. The album is available to pre-order, with The Space Tapes (a psychedelic rework of some of the records highlights, laid down straight to tape) among the tracks available instantly. In many ways Nothing's Real is the perfect title for Shura's debut album, which mixes the personal and the fantastical to beguiling, immersive effect. It features songs written and painstakingly recorded across two years in her Shepherds Bush bedroom - the site of which is blown up on the albums striking artwork but also reaches back further than that: into parents, childhood, past relationships and the possibilities of the future. All threaded together across the albums often-affecting narrative, the record assimilates everything Shura loves from early Madonna to Sci-fi, and War on Drugs to gaming but is also the sound of an artist pushing themselves hard, further into the unknown. A phrase coined after a breakup, Nothings Real confirms Shura as an important artist for the years ahead. Welcome as the record was almost called to her Shuniverse.
