Country ballad sounding like a secret whispered on the wind, Eylsia Nicholas bares her soul in her latest single, “Nothing to Gain, Nothing to Lose.” Her music, tender and introspective, is rooted in the kind of life experiences that can’t be faked.
“Nothing to Gain, Nothing to Lose” is a slice of classic country storytelling. There is a beautifully honest delivery here, a fragility that echoes throughout, accompanied by acoustic warmth and emotional grit. There is a gravel scraping truth to the roads she has traveled, in the tired sides of her voice, unbroken but older. It’s also not just a country by genre alone, as it tells stories that matter.
The sound is clean and thoughtful, with a twangy enough quality to give a slight nod to the past, yet current enough to stand alongside other songs of today. The music has a bittersweet melody, and the words hit you right in that tender spot, like an old family photo album of who you once were. This is the heartbeat of this song, a contemplative wistfulness.
As open and enthusiastic as they come, Eylsia is releasing Country, Pop, and Gospel albums at the same time. On “Nothing to Gain, Nothing to Lose”, she welcomes you with a trip into her country roots, filled with poetic grittiness and the calloused feeling you have when you reach the bottom, but only sing your way back up. Eylsia is performing to connect. Even, and especially so with this song. Country music has a new storyteller.
