Alt-pop breakout Nessa Barrett has shared her highly-anticipated new single, “LOVE LOOKS PRETTY ON YOU” via Warner Records. An instant fan-favorite since Nessa first teased it over a year ago—with more than 80 thousand creates on TikTok and counting—the delicate track precedes the release of her AFTERCARE DELUXE album, arriving next Friday, February 7. 

With six new tracks—including recent single “DOES GOD CRY?”—AFTERCARE DELUXE expands upon Barrett’s acclaimed 2024 album AFTERCARE. The collection boasts a darkened, dance-powered sound that Nessa has perfected in her journey to empower and uplift her listeners, as reflected through standout tracks like the smoldering “MUSTANG BABY” featuring Artemas and the hits “PINS AND NEEDLES” and “P*RNSTAR,” which have amassed over 350 million combined views and counting on TikTok. The album also features singles “DIRTY LITTLE SECRET,” “PASSENGER PRINCESS,” and the Tommy Genesis-assisted “DISCO.” Earlier this week, Nessa took the stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live! for an electrifying performance of “P*RNSTAR” — watch it HERE.

Barrett will kick off her AFTERCARE World Tour on February 4, with an extensive run of dates throughout North America before wrapping up with a two-night run at The Wiltern in Los Angeles on March 15 and 16. She will then head overseas for a run of dates throughout Europe. Click HERE for tickets and see the full list of dates below.

AFTERCARE is only the latest milestone for one of music’s hottest rising stars. In November, Nessa teamed up with Nasty Gal to curate her own collection, which is available now — shop HERE. Barrett was also announced as the new face of Cheap Monday’s relaunched denim line, and in May, she joined Lana Del Rey on stage at Hangout Festival, where the duo performed Barrett’s 2023 single “american jesus,” a highlight from her hell is teenage girl EP. 2024 also saw her release “girl in new york,” the heartfelt “club heaven,” and her pulse-pounding collaboration with Whethan, “sick of myself.” Shortly after, she hit the road for her fully sold-out church club for the lonely tour, which included two main stage performances at Austin City Limits Festival.

After being named as one of Billboard’s “21 Under 21” twice — as well as being featured on Forbes’ “Top Creators: Fashion 50,” Uproxx’s “Next Hitmakers List,” People Magazine’s “Emerging Artist List,” and Ones to Watch’s list of “25 Artists to Watch in 2022” — Nessa Barrett has gone on to accumulate over 2 billion global streams to date. In 2022, she was also nominated for Push Performance of the Year at the MTV VMAs, performed at When We Were Young Festival, and took her show on the road for her sold out North American and European tours in support of her acclaimed debut album young forever.
