Kim Deal karaoke - Nobody Loves You More (w/video background)

Nobody Loves You More is the debut solo album by the American musician Kim Deal. It was released on November 22, 2024, by 4AD, and promoted with the singles "Coast", "Crystal Breath", "A Good Time Pushed" and "Nobody Loves You More".

Nobody Loves You More is Deal's first solo album. It includes contributions from her sister Kelley Deal and other former Breeders collaborators, such as Jim MacPherson and Mando Lopez, as well as Savages’ Fay Milton and Ayse Hassan, Raymond McGinley of Teenage Fanclub, and the Raconteurs’ Jack Lawrence.

The album includes over a decade's work, with its earliest songs dating back to 2011, shortly after Deal's departure from the Pixies following their Lost Cities Tour. "Are You Mine?" and "Wish I Was" were written in 2011 and released in 2013 as part of a self-released seven-inch vinyl series in 2013.[3][4] Steve Albini, a frequent collaborator, recorded "A Good Time Pushed" in the final sessions at Electrical Audio in Chicago before his death in May 2024.

Musically, Nobody Loves You More blends familiar Breeders-esque rock with surprising stylistic choices, such as bossa nova and brass instrumentation, as heard in the title track. Songs like “Disobedience” and “Big Ben Beat” evoke the energy of Breeders' classics, while others, like “Wish I Was,” reimagine earlier material with fresh arrangements. Despite its eclectic nature, the album retains Deal's style, offering both familiarity and innovation.

The album's themes range from the deeply personal to whimsical inspirations. For instance, the poignant track “Are You Mine?” is inspired by a moment with Deal's mother, who suffered from Alzheimer's. Conversely, "Crystal Breath" arose from Deal's admiration for actress Rose Byrne, though the song's intended purpose as a TV theme was ultimately declined.

Upon its release, Nobody Loves You More was well received by music critics. According to the review aggregator Metacritic, Nobody Loves You More received "universal acclaim" based on a weighted average score of 89 out of 100 from 11 critic scores.

The Quietus highlighted the range, from the vibrant, brass-infused bossa nova of the title track to the raw vulnerability of songs like “Are You Mine?”. AllMusic added their 'Editor's Choice' tag to the collection and stated "Nobody Loves You More is some of her finest music yet, and while any of these songs would've been a standout with one of her other projects, it's all the sweeter that they're hers alone".
