Video: Nadine Shah Shares Video For 'Greatest Dancer' From New Album 'Filthy Underneath'

Nadine Shah shares a new video today for the track 'Greatest Dancer.'  The song and accompanying clip are inspired by the lockdown Saturday nights that Nadine and her late-mother would spend watching Strictly Come Dancing.

Greatest Dancer follows the lead singles 'Topless Mother' - which went straight onto the BBC 6Music A-List - and 'Twenty Things.' It is taken from Shah's fifth album Filthy Underneath, released on February 23 as the inaugural release on EMI North. 

With her UK/European tour supporting Depeche Mode beginning tonight (Jan 22) at London's O2 Arena, Nadine will undertake her own full UK headline tour in April/May with dates including a show at London's Heaven on May 2 as well as Newcastle, Manchester, Glasgow and Birmingham. Shah has also today announced a series of special in-store performances to mark the album's release. Full dates and tickets can be found below.  

Three years might seem like a prolonged absence to some people, but it's also a period of time in which the apparatus that holds your world in place can be dismantled and reassembled so that you can keep living, keep creating. Filthy Underneath chronicles a period of unprecedented turbulence in Nadine Shah's life. And yet, the experience of listening to it is oddly life-affirming – a parade of ghosts spanning the entirety of Nadine's thirty-seven years, moving with balletic beauty to the music that Nadine and long-time co-writer and producer Ben Hillier have created around them, with renewed emphasis on placing melody and movement front and center.
