Nature Is Healing is the debut studio album by German DJ and singer-songwriter HorsegiirL, released on 5 June 2026 via RCA Records. The album was inspired by an ayahuasca ceremony she experienced during a four month period in Ecuador, with the album's concept being about the relations between humans and Earth. Elaborating on the album's themes, she said, "I want to remind human beings that they are part of nature… You are not looking at nature from the outside, but you are right in it".
The album has been described as fusing electropop, new age, EDM, jersey club, gabber, and hyperpop with samples of nature recordings. The album was produced by HorsegiirL, A. G. Cook, Casey MQ, Margo XS, FREE Jimi, Elof Loelv, Suena, and Luvhunter.
Reception In a positive Pitchfork review by Hattie Lindert, they stated that the album lived up to the eccentric persona HorsegiirL had built up to that point, believing the album to be both "silly and sincere". Further, taking note in a shift of sounds from previous releases by HorsegiirL, noting a departure from the hard dance stylings in favor of "electropop pastiche", as well as "80s new age, ’90s pop, and 2010s EDM." Overall, they believed that while the album might "disarm listeners most familiar with HorsegiirL’s cheeky humor", the album encourages imagination and "suspension of disbelief" with a rating of 7.3.
Alex Rigotti of NME gave the album a 4/5, highlighting HorsegiirL's range within "a string of surprisingly lush downtempo songs", similarly noting a contrast to the more upbeat music she had made prior. Further, praising the album for its diversity, noting individual songs covering genres such as tropical pop, house, and techno.
