MisterWives‘ album Nosebleeds is getting a second life! On Friday, the band released a reimagined, rockier version of the album’s track “Other Side,” featuring Charlotte Sands. They also celebrate the arrival of new music by announcing their fall Just For One Night tour.
Frontwoman Mandy Lee describes “Other Side” as a song about dealing with the “unhealthy side effects” of comparison and overcoming them to experience gratitude. “That’s exactly how we are feeling now,” she says. The track is set to be featured on Nosebleeds: Encore, which will hear the band reworking each song on the album with a new guest.
“From the studio to playing it live, every iteration of ‘Other Side’ has been unfiltered fun and the honor of having Charlotte be part of the song took it to new heights,” Lee adds of working with Sands. “Her talent, heart and powerhouse voice are as awe-inspiring as her trailblazing career as an independent artist, and getting to share the stage with her was a true masterclass.” On the layered meanings of the track, Lee continues, “Underneath the reckoning of comparison and its unhealthy side effects, the spirit of ‘Other Side’ is gratitude, and that’s exactly how we are feeling now.”
For her part, Sands says she’s always been a “huge fan” of the “Reflections” indie pop band and was honored to join Lee on the song. “Watching her energy on stage genuinely makes me a better performer. They have so much dynamic sonically and continue to make the best music of their careers, which they then somehow follow up with even better music,” Sands says. “I’m forever impressed and so incredibly lucky for the opportunity to work with them.”
After dropping the Encore version of their album with new collaborations, the group will hit the road with Joan as an opener throughout all of the dates and several other guests. The group will stop in Nashville, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, Boston, and Orlando.
