Alternative artist Nicole Alexis (stylized as N/A) has announced her new EP, Sympathy Rehab, which will arrive on September 25th, 2026 via Hard Working Records. Alongside the news, she has released new single “Broken”, alongside a special acoustic version of the track.

“Broken” is a “reflection on the struggle to keep things together when you feel like you are falling apart.”

N/A shares:

‘Sympathy Rehab’ feels like the most comfortable I’ve ever been in my own music. I stopped worrying as much about what I thought a record was supposed to sound like and started following the things I naturally gravitate toward… live drums, guitars, imperfect performances and lyrics that feel like something I would actually say. There are a lot of different emotions across these four songs, but the thing that connects them for me is how honest they feel.

About “Broken”, she adds:

’Broken’ came from a period where I felt like I was constantly trying to hold everything together, even when I knew I wasn’t doing a very good job at it. I wanted the song to capture that feeling without making it feel overly dramatic. It sits in that uncomfortable space of knowing everything is falling apart, but still trying to push through it and make sense of everything as it’s happening.

N/A previously released her debut EP Mirrors & Smoke, a single from which, “Don’t Tell Me To Breathe”, was featured in the launch of Fender’s Quantum LT.

Since then, N/A signed with Hard Working Records, joining the label’s roster that includes Rachel Grae, Earth To Eve, naarjesse, and Billie Reekie.
