How Long Will It Take?

A bold debut from Midlands-born Nieve Ella, How Long Will It Take? is the arrival of a rising voice in alt-rock and indie. It is a chaotic, emotionally open record where Ella stops filtering herself and steps fully into view.

Built with Jamie Rendle and guitarist Finn Marlow, the album pairs anthemic guitars with soaring vocals and intricate production. Lyrically, Ella writes with real clarity about mental health and betrayal in relationships, landing every line with sharp poignancy.

It lands after a strong, fast-building campaign and an extensive run of live shows. Nieve kicked off spring with intensive sold-out fan dates that drew wide attention for her entrancing live performance, making How Long Will It Take? feel like a bold next step.
