Nessa Barrett Drops Outlaw Lovers Anthem 'Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die' + New Album 'Tough Love' Release Date
Today, rising star Nessa Barrett shares "Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die," the darkly romantic first taste of her forthcoming third album, Tough Love, arriving September 25 on Warner Records. Pre-save HERE. A cinematic swirl of moody rock and shadowy pop, the new single embodies the inherent danger of new love, and the thrill of throwing caution to the wind. Listen HERE.

As immersive as anything she's released so far, "Too Fast To Live, Too Young To Die," makes a powerful case for witnessing Nessa live. The song plays out like a short film, picking up as two young lovers prepare to hit the open road with a bag of cash and, it seems, a past they need to outrun. Amid mournful strings, urgent guitars, and steadily driving drums, she coos a hook for the ages: "Kiss me reckless, kiss me goodbye / If love's a risk, I'm down to ride / I know it's dangerous, but I don't mind / Too fast to live, but we're just too young to die."
The new single was dreamt up by Nessa with her go-to collaborators, CJ Baran and Arthur Besna " the same tight-knit crew behind Jesus loves a primadonna, which arrived this past March. The EP paired a hypnotic mix of noirish rock, trip-hop textures, and haunting vocals fueled a trio of enthralling singles: "High On Heaven," which likens love to a powerful drug; the jarringly vulnerable "Stay With Me"; and the eerie fantasy "Buffalo 66," which arrived alongside a music video starring The Neighbourhood's Jesse Rutherford. Nessa marked the EP's release with an intimate tour series that racked up raves from the likes of Sweety High and spawned her Live From New York performance video series " watch "Special To You." Nessa also sat down with WIRED, And The Writer Is…, and The Zach Sang Show to discuss this fruitful era of her career.
After being named to Billboard's "21 Under 21" list twice, collaborating with the likes of Whethan, and duetting her own song "american jesus" with Lana Del Rey on stage, Nessa has amassed nearly 3 billion global streams and over 27 million followers across socials. With Tough Love, she's poised to reveal her deepest, darkest, and most truthful work yet.
