New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The project commenced when Nina visited her family in Sweden. It was a trip which also provided an opportunity to work with a range of talent from the nation's music scene, including Elvira Anderfjärd (best known for her
Taylor Swift remixes), Jack & Coke (Tove Lo, Carly Rae Jepsen).
The two roots of Nina's family heritage bookend the album. The tone-setting 'Gaol' (Scottish-Gaelic for 'love') is a collage of voice-notes from fans, each saying "I love you" in languages ranging from Estonian to Korean, while the gorgeously cinematic title track nods to Sigur Rós.
There are numerous other new highlights set to be discovered by fans, including the beat-driven, hedonistic romance of 'Teenage Chemistry' and the stuttering, playful pop that bounces within 'Limited Edition'. But it never shies away from confronting issues head on. 'Older Guys', for example, is a song about the changing perceptions of love. What may have felt exciting and rebellious when you were younger, now just feels different with more life experience under the belt.
Nina wrote or co-wrote all twelve songs that feature on 'Älskar' and has production credits on half of the record. Her other collaborators include top tier songwriter
Dan Wilson (Adele's 'Someone Like You') and Grammy-winning mixer Manon Grandjean (Stormzy, Dave).
Nina's new music follows the huge global fanbase she established with her second album 'The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change'. The album amassed a staggering half-a-billion streams including for the now classic 'Loyal To Me' which was Top 10 most added at Top 40 radio and propelled her into Spotify's top 500 artists in the world.
The track, which Nina performed on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert (her US late night TV debut), earned acclaim from the likes of Marie Claire who praised the album for its "Joyful, dance-y pop with wrenching indie ballads, displaying a newfound maturity in the...songwriting,"and Billboard Magazine who hailed it "an iridescent work of pop mastery, showcasing Nesbitt's proficiency as a songwriter, vocalist and producer," with V Magazine proclaiming, "'The Sun Will Come Up'... captures the precise moment an artist finds herself blossoming into a full-blown pop star."
This Fall, Nina will embark on a UK and European tour with plans to return to the US in 2023. Stay tuned for news and updates.
