Soul-Pop Artist Nadia Tagoe Unveils Dreamy New Single, Imaginary Girl

With a voice often compared to Amy Winehouse and Norah Jones, Canadian singer-songwriter Nadia Tagoe returns with her second single, Imaginary Girl – a dark and soulful pop track that tells an intimate story. Following the warm reception of her debut single Daydreams, which earned local radio play and blog buzz in multiple countries, Imaginary Girl finds Nadia leaning further into her signature style: haunting vocals and a soundscape that feels timeless and cinematic.

Written during the early stages of a romance, Imaginary Girl explores the desire to remain a mystery while falling in love to preserve the magic. “It’s about preserving a fantasy in hopes of keeping someone around,” Nadia shares, “that feeling that if someone knows the ugly parts of you, it might fall apart.” The song draws parallels to childhood imaginary friends, but repurposes it for the concept of an ideal romance

Produced by prolific composer Simon Victor Linsteadt, Imaginary Girl pulses with ethereal textures, and seamlessly transforms as a cool kick drum that emerges in the second verse. The result is a slow-burning track that feels both dark and whimsical.

Originally from Waterloo, Ontario, Nadia spent two years living and performing in Australia before returning home to Toronto to focus on her solo career. Her rich, soulful voice carries traces of jazz, R&B, and blues. While her songs often explore heartbreak and longing, her artistic persona remains vibrant and unmistakably energetic.

Now based in Toronto, Nadia is preparing for a new season of performances while continuing to carve out her space as a voice for dreamers and hopeless romantics. Imaginary Girl is available on all streaming platforms and Bandcamp on August 1st.
