My Brightest Diamond has revealed a new album, Fight The Real Terror, following their 2018 release, A Million And One. The lead single, “Have You Ever Seen An Angel,” is now available.
Reflecting on personal hardships, Shara Nova, the project’s frontwoman from New York, shared, “‘Have You Ever Seen An Angel’ explores moments of profound loss or astonishment, where I felt a connection to something greater, offering solace in my solitude.”
Fight The Real Terror delves into themes of activism and vulnerability. Nova describes the album as a window into her introspections, created swiftly and devoid of elaborate arrangements. Collaborator Tom Schick aimed to preserve raw emotions by capturing initial recordings without excessive revisions.
The album was crafted during a power outage coinciding with Sinéad O’Connor’s passing, influencing its content. O’Connor’s ethos of “fighting the real enemy” on SNL inspired Nova, shaping the LP’s direction.
