Kim Deal – Nobody Loves You More (2024)

I mean to tell you / Nobody loves you more

Kim Deal has never felt the need to reinvent herself—and that’s precisely what makes her music so powerful. As the former bassist of the Pixies and the driving force behind The Breeders, she has left an indelible mark on the alternative rock scene. With Nobody Loves You More, she delivers an album that feels like a collection of memories, a sonic collage of her evolution as a musician.

From the opening notes of the title track, it’s clear that Deal is expanding her horizons. The strings and cinematic grandeur give it an unexpected elegance, almost as if she’s composed a Bond soundtrack. Yet, her signature rawness remains intact, especially in tracks like Big Ben Beat, where the basslines and rhythmic intensity evoke memories of her work with The Breeders.

The album is infused with deeply personal stories. Are You Mine is a poignant tribute to her mother, who suffered from Alzheimer’s, transforming an intimate recollection into a universal love ballad. Crystal Breath carries a hypnotic drive that reflects her early work but with a maturity that highlights her growth as a songwriter.

What makes this album special is the way it celebrates her versatility. She flirts with different styles, from melancholic crooner vibes to trip-hop influences, without losing her identity. It feels like a self-portrait, a collection of everything that defines her as an artist.

Nobody Loves You More is not an attempt to reclaim the music world but rather a confirmation of her lasting greatness. It’s an album that longtime fans will cherish and that will give new listeners a glimpse into the magic of Kim Deal. A must-listen for anyone who loves music with soul and character.
