This past March, Nita released a new single, “Winner Takes All”, featuring a guest appearance by Cooper. The track is taken from Nita‘s upcoming sophomore solo album, tentatively due later this year via Sumerian Records.
“Winner Takes All” is the third song Nita has released featuring a star guest vocalist, the first being the enormously successful “Dead Inside” which featured guest vocals from DISTURBED‘s David Draiman and saw Nita become the first-ever solo female to have a No. 1 hit at Active Rock radio. She also returned to her instrumental roots last year with the release of single “Summer Storm”, a fast-paced, emotive shred-fest. In October 2022, Nita dropped “The Wolf You Feed”, an epic headbanger of a track featuring the insane vocal talent of Alissa White-Gluz of ARCH ENEMY.
Nita released 2018’s “Controlled Chaos” to mass acclaim from fans and media alike, with Metal Injection calling it “a great debut that — as its creator intended — leaves no doubt”, and Guitar World stating “‘Controlled Chaos’ is a panoramic view of Nita Strauss‘s many strengths”. Earlier this month, it was announced that Nita would return to Alice‘s band for his 2023 tour.
