Nell Tiger Free is no stranger to reinvention. Known for her roles in Game of Thrones and Servant, the 25-year-old actor has now stepped boldly into the music world with her debut EP, Worst Day of Her Life (so far). This collection of songs is as raw and unfiltered as its title suggests, a vivid exploration of heartbreak, growth, and resilience that feels like flipping through a supercharged diary.

Across the record, her ethereal harmonies and confessional vocals are layered over polished production by Tim Bran, whose previous collaborations include London Grammar and Aurora. Together, they’ve crafted a sound that’s both intimate and cinematic—a perfect mirror to Nell’s own journey from private songwriting to public vulnerability.

The lead single, “Love of My Life,” is a standout—a gut-punch break-up anthem that captures the liminal space between devastation and acceptance. Free’s lyrics don’t shy away from brutal honesty, but there’s humour and humanity woven in throughout.

For fans of Lana Del Rey or Mitski, Nell Tiger Free offers something uniquely compelling: a fearless voice unafraid to confront life’s messiness head-on. Worst Day of Her Life (so far) is more than just an EP—it’s an introduction to an artist who refuses to hold back. Whether you’re nursing heartbreak or simply need an anthem for screaming into a pillow, Free’s music delivers catharsis wrapped in irresistible indie-pop hooks.
