Into You is the first single to be taken from Nick Edwards stunning new EP 1960 – a collection of 5 tracks inspired by the icons of that decade. The song, to be released 23rd June 2023, portrays the story of ‘old hometown love’ that never came to fruition before the couple became estranged. It is a love story to the other, a show of emotions that were never able to be told in person but from afar.
The chorus recites “We go together like the soles on our shoes, like country and blues, like burns on the oven to, through years of a mothers love.” It is essentially a country song with a folk, modern twist.
Britain’s Got Talent
Nick was dubbed the first ever surprise act in the show’s history when he appeared on ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent last year. His audition was pre-planned between his wife, Catherine, and the show’s production team and sparked a global reaction. His performance of the song Daddy’s Little Girl has been viewed well over 3oo million times and trended worldwide on YouTube (Top Ten) within 48 hours of being aired.
Nick’s story was covered nationally in the UK with appearances on shows such as ITV’s Lorraine and This Morning, but also internationally as far as Japan. Following the show Nick travelled to Nashville to record his debut single Daddy’s Little Girls which he released last September. To date it has stacked up Three No.1’s, Eleven Top Tens, and global success in over 30 countries worldwide.

Influences
Nick considers his musical influences as broad, ranging from legendary names such as Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke, and Ray Charles to more modern acts such as John Legend. He takes a heavy influence from Motown and Soul music, which his Mum would play regularly, and he has his father to thank for his love of Frank Sinatra and theatre shows, which he would play at home on a Sunday afternoon.
It wasn’t until his mid 20’s that Nick found his love and passion for Country music, and particularly the stories behind the songs. It would quickly have a profound impact on Nick and his songwriting, which he often refers to as very much from the American songbook with a big influence on American Culture.
Road to the Opry
This year Nick is scheduled to travel to Nashville to begin filming an independent documentary titled ‘Road to the Opry’. Nick plans to take to the road in search of the Opry with a young filmmaker to understand what the Opry stands for, its history, how important it is in American music culture, and what it feels like to step out on the iconic Opry stage, in perfect timing for its 100th anniversary in November 2025.
