Following a successful appearance at Synth Wave Live in London earlier this year, Berlin-born songstress NINA is back with a new single ‘One Of Us’, which she performed at the event.
A cinematic slice of synthwave pop with a Nordic twist thanks to the collaborative efforts of Swedish electronic artist and producer OSCILLIAN, ‘One Of Us’ sees NINA develop on the promise shown by her previous singles ‘My Mistake’
A steadfast percussive energy certainly comes over the tune’s nocturnal atmospheres although the accompanying video sees Fraulein Boldt walking around a gloomy city estate, reflecting about a time in her childhood when she saved a boy from bullies… “You’ll never be alone as long as I am here” she sings in a brooding tone of optimism.
In an artistic move reminiscent of classic PET SHOP BOYS, the B-side ‘Counting Stars’ is cut from a similar cloth to the A-side, combining NINA’s enticing vocal with a rich escapist soundtrack swathed in synths.
With a host of Autumn shows coming up in the UK, Germany and Sweden, NINA is making strides towards finally releasing her long awaited but as-yet-untitled debut album.
