Nora by Rachel Cousins
If you’ve ever been your own worst critic, Rachel Cousins’ new single “Nora” is going to resonate.
It’s a sleek, heartfelt pop song about someone being too hard on themselves—and somehow, Rachel makes it both deeply personal and incredibly catchy. It’s the kind of track you catch yourself humming long after it ends.
Rachel’s been a familiar name on the Newfoundland music scene since her teens, but “Nora” marks a big leap forward. Produced by Grammy-winner Greg Wells (who’s worked with Adele, Taylor Swift and a long, long list of other musical heavy-weights), it’s her debut single with Scilly Cove Records—a label with roots in Newfoundland and Labrador.
‘Nora’ is just the first taste of what’s to come. Cousins’ upcoming album is set for summer 2025, and if this single is anything to go by, we’re in for something special.
With her unmistakable vocals and honest songwriting, Rachel Cousins is going to win listeners far beyond the Newfoundland and Labrador.
Check it out now, and keep your ears open — this is the beginning of something great.
I’m obsessed with music from Newfoundland and Labrador…
It’s fresh, wild, and full of surprises. The artists here are pumping out so much new stuff, it’s hard to keep up. So, I started a playlist of my faves—tons of genres, but the only rule is they’re local and totally repeat-worthy. I update it regularly, so follow along (on Spotify, Apple Music or Youtube).
Trust me, there’s a ton of good stuff coming your way.
