Nashville-based singer-songwriter Nina de Vitry’s brand new album What You Feel Is Real is a collection of songs that she feels truly showcase her eclectic musical inspirations.

Indeed, from softer songwriting moments and a swinging jazz number to a driving Dolly Parton-inspired tune, no two songs on the album have the same flavor.

She is also thrilled by the incredible musicianship that shines through from every player on every single track. You’ll hear tasty piano or rhodes on almost every song, catchy horn parts and dreamy string arrangements, and grooving bass lines and drums.

Nina’s hope is that the messages these songs and sounds carry can inspire self love, mental health awareness, personal empowerment, and hope. For at its core, the album is a plea to open one’s heart: to oneself, to others, and the the world, as well as a lesson in holding dualities without conflict.

1. History
2. Wrong Thing
3. Don’t Remind Me
4. Bright Star
5. Being with Myself
6. Life You Could Be Living
7. Song for You
8. Home
9. Mother of Mine
10. Open
11. What You Feel Is Real

This beautifully sculpted new recording opens on the low slung ambiance of the breathy History and the mid-tempo swing found within Wrong Thing and then brings us the gently furtive Don’t Remind Me, the softly-sculpted balladry of Bright Star, and then we get the beautiful Being with Myself and the smooth foot-tapper Life You Could Be Living.

Along next on this wholly impassioned album is the sumptuous Song for You and the languishing Home, and they are in turn backed by the quiet finger-snapper Mother of Mine, the album rounding out on a song intended to coax listeners out of their shells, the resoundingly beautiful, aching approachable Open, coming to a close on the dreamy, titular What You Feel Is Real.
