2025 is proving to be a prolific year for NINA, both as a solo artist and with her band bar italia. The Rome-born, London-based musician has already dropped singles like “TWINK” and “Till the devil gets bored”, released a collaborative EP, and composed the original score for her debut film The Richest Man in Babylon. Alongside this, bar italia has also been keeping busy with new music of their own.
Yves Tumor, meanwhile, continues to expand their left-field universe following the critically acclaimed 2023 album Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds).

Their worlds collide on “WE DONT COUNT”, a hook-laden, bass-driven new wave track that feels like a shared fever dream. Propelled by hypnotic rhythms and jagged guitar stabs, the song lets Tumor and NINA’s vocals twist and coil around each other, creating something that’s both urgent and surreal. The mood carries into the shadowy black-and-white video they co-directed. The stylish, enigmatic piece matches the track’s dark pulse and swagger. It’s a collision of two singular visions, and the result feels electric.
