Source-derived summary

The Sun Will Come Up, the Seasons Will Change is the second studio album by Scottish singer-songwriter Nina Nesbitt, released on 1 February 2019 through Cooking Vinyl. The standard edition of the album was supported by eight singles. "The Moments I'm Missing" was released as the lead single in July 2017 quickly followed by "The Best You Had", "Somebody Special", "Loyal to Me", "Colder", "Is It Really Me You're Missing", "Love Letter" and "Last December". The deluxe extension featured two new singles, "Black & Blue" and "Toxic". Nesbitt embarked on a headline tour of North America and the United Kingdom from February to April 2019 in support of the album, which visited 26 venues.

Background

The album had been worked on by Nesbitt for three years and is more pop-focused than her previous material. Nesbitt stated that it is "the album I always wanted to make on my own terms. It's an honest account of somebody in their early '20s, giving a real window into their often ever changing life."

Music

"The Best You Had" has been called "R&B-tinged" and an "unusually honest breakup track", while "The Moments I'm Missing", produced in Nesbitt's bedroom, was called "multi-layered" with a story behind it. "Somebody Special" was noted as a "love song with a twist" and a "self-love anthem", and "Is It Really Me You're Missing?" was originally intended for Rihanna.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“The Sun Will Come Up, the Seasons Will Change” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Will, Come and Seasons provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q60752350. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2019 and 2017.

Critical limits

Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
