(May 13, 2024) London based singer and songwriter Lina Nikol said that her new song, “Bad,” is one listeners will find very relatable. Why? Because “Bad” is a bluesy, first person recounting of the realization that she had become so comfortable with the one good feeling she received from a relationship that she accepted a lot of toxicity.
Plenty of people can relate to being in that state or having been there once. The arrangement deployed on this song is one that allows the impact of Nikol’s words to hit with blunt force. “Bad” has a bluesy feel due to the bass line. That bottom holds up soft, airy keyboards and atmospheric background vocals.
All of this means that there is not much to get in the way of the message that Nikol delivers with intimacy, as well as a final conversation urgency.

In describing “Bad,” Nikol said, “It’s about setting the boundaries, knowing your worth and realizing that when you break that bad habit, you give yourself permission to experience something much more fulfilling even if it takes time.” Check it out here.
