Last month, Molly Nilsson released “How Much Is The World”, the first single from her upcoming album Amateur, out October 10 via Dark Skies Association and Night School Records.
The song is a bold and haunting number that asks what value we place on the world around us. With its pulsing synths and Molly’s unmistakable voice, it sets the tone for an album that celebrates imperfection, passion and the joy of living and creating without fear of mistakes. It is out along with a music video she created herself.
Nilsson also explains that the album is called Amateur because she embraces the original meaning of the word, as a lover or admirer, rather than its modern sense of inexperience. She sees “amateurism” as a joyful, rebellious refusal to chase mastery or societal expectations, celebrating the freedom to love, experiment, fail, and have fun. The album reflects this spirit: a dedication to passion and imperfection, doing things fully and unapologetically, just for the love of it.
