Nordia Mothersille ready to capitalise on Ms Honda success
Singer Nordia Mothersille will readily admit that her music is both unique and captivating. In fact, though she doesn’t intentionally set out to be different, Mothersille says she’s happy her fan base sees her artistry as a breath of fresh air.
Currently promoting her newest single, Ms Honda, the entertainer says she writes from a very personal space and hopes her music resonates with listeners.
“I try to write in a way that is relatable, because as an entertainer you want to be able to connect with your audience and so a lot of my material does come from personal experiences, including Ms Honda,” she said.
Mothersille, who described the track as a “happy break-up song”, said she hoped the single would help women who’ve experienced infidelity to be at peace with that painful experience.
“By the time I was to write the song, NotNice had already built the rhythm and it had that kind of old-school upbeat kinda vibe, and so Ms Honda is literally a happy break-up song; a fun, enjoyable song for me to write because I really liked the rhythm and, by that time, I was over the pain,” she shared. “I think, as women, its vital to know when enough is enough and this song is just an enough moment. And it’s not sad or depressing; it’s just accepting that this happened and now, I’m choosing to move on.”
Ms Honda, which was produced by NotNice Records, was released in October and has amassed close to 200,000 views on YouTube since then. According to Mothersille, the single has introduced her music to a wider audience and she’s grateful to have added more ears to her musical repertoire.
“I am really grateful for what this single is doing for my career. I do believe
Ms Honda is a part of the reasons so many new persons have been introduced to me and that’s wonderful. If Ms Honda is the song that gets you to run come and listen to Nordia then, I’m here for it,” she said. “It’s been quite exciting to see how many people love this song and the variety is crazy too. A lot of grown people and young people love the song and it’s really been nice,” she said.
The singer says now that she has the ears of new listeners she plans to use the attention wisely. She told the Jamaica Observer’s Splash that, having released her EP last month, she wants people to get even more familiar with her work.
“I have a song out with Chronic Law that’s on the EP, Broken Child, and we are gearing up to drop the visuals for that one and others, so we have a lot in store,” she said.
Indicating that she believes in timing, the singer says she is ecstatic her music is gradually reaching a wider audience.
“I feel like everything will happen in its time. I’m always here working. You might not always see it because a lot of work has been going into artiste development. But I am preparing myself for when it all unfolds for me,” she said. “I know it will happen, and so I don’t feel like my progress is too slow. I feel like everything that’s happening for me is God’s timing, not mine.”
