Nuture is the new full-length album from Porter Robinson. In his own words:
"Nurture is an album about hope, overcoming despair, faithfully pursuing a sense of purpose, and trying to prove that its worthwhile to try. This album came about during a period of intense creative and emotional struggle. I had structured my life around the expectation that the only thing that made me happy was writing music. But it was exactly that obsession and imbalance that made writing music an impossibility for me for years. I wanted it too much, was highly self-critical, and I was so scared that I wouldnt ever be able to write music again. And the more desperate I became to write music, the harder it became. Only by accepting that I might never be able to do it again, and by embracing and trying to find happiness in aspects of life outside of music, was I able to slowly claw my way into being able to do it again. And on the other side of all this fear and anxiety, I found this life-giving sort of light and beauty. I felt a gratitude towards real life that I used to only feel towards fiction. Im really, deeply glad that I wrote this album. Its my favorite music Ive ever made, and it made me feel purposeful and happy to write music again. I want to write music that tells people that an earnest and sincere effort to overcome that thing you’re struggling with is the best path forward. Theres no shortage of fuel for despair and nihilism, but Ive found that those things dont help. I want the listener to know that even when it seems impossible and insurmountable, its worthwhile to do your best, that theres no shame in hope, and that purpose and meaning are worth pursuing."
