“This album was birthed by a rude awakening,” says Nahko. “Amidst a series of sudden harsh changes, I found myself embarking on a quest for help with a fierce desire to heal, and writing these songs was my therapy. They’re deeply personal; the most I’ve shared about my personal journey of self love to date, and, true to my nature, there is joyous victory that blankets the most painful topics.
“Take Your Power Back is a mindset and mantra. It means being accountable, acknowledging traumas, and doing the hard vulnerable work of confronting the shadows. I am reclaiming my voice, my boundaries, and my medicine.”
Nahko will celebrate the release of ‘Take Your Power Back’ during a virtual release party airing live on Facebook and YouTube tonight at 12am midnight UK time. He’ll perform songs from the album, converse with special guests, and answer fan questions about ‘Take Your Power Back,’ in addition to giveaways and other surprises.

Take Your Power Back offers a message of hope and healing that resonates even more deeply in 2020. Throughout the album, Nahko faces the challenges that come from self-forgiveness, using music as a balm for healing. Early single ‘Twisted’ celebrates the courage it takes to prioritise self-love, and ‘Part Problem’ is an ode to owning our responsibilities for the paths we choose in life.
The album’s lead single 'Lifeguard' is currently a Top 40 radio hit in the US. Album standout ‘Garden’ landed on multiple New Music Friday playlists the week it arrived, as well as Spotify’s Renegade Folk and Apple Music Alt-Hot Tracks playlists, with ‘Twisted’ earning placement on Spotify’s Contemporary Blend and Fin de Journée playlists.
Last month, Nahko performed his song ‘Honor The Earth’ as part of Earth Day Live alongside Dave Matthews, Jason Mraz and more, plus appearances by Al Gore, Pope Francis, and many other prominent environmental advocates.
Nahko has been hosting conversations with friends and collaborators on his weekly live streamed Instagram show Medicine Tribe Television (MTTV) Presents: Real Medicine. Guests have included Shailene Woodley, Aaron Rodgers, Marianne Williamson, and more.
