Sweden’s Nina Kinert released her debut album in 2004. Her career really took off when car manufacturer SAAB used one of her tracks for an advertising campaign in 2007. Including Ep releases, her discography numbers around ten, delighting her discreet but conquered fans. His favourite instruments are guitar and piano. Apart from an album inspired by the Star Wars films, the themes of her songs are strongly influenced by her religious upbringing and the questions it raises, by herself and also by her confrontation with the modern world.
Starting from a Folk base, the young woman’s compositions have always been at the confluence of several styles. There’s the Minimalism of Philip Glass, the Ambient of Brian Eno, the Kraut-Rock of Klaus Schulze, and some of the vocals are reminiscent of sacred chants. This album, which retains the spiritual theme, is a logical follow-up to 2023, and as its name suggests, the work on vocals plays a major role. This is combined with the sometimes dreamlike presence of keyboards, the artist willingly admitting an admiration for Laurie Anderson and Vangelis among many others.
The music on this album is haunting and weightless. It alternates moments of intense emotion with passages of pure ambient. To create this world there are the voices and keyboards already mentioned, but also flutes, harp, clarinets and cellos that enhance the electronic textures created by the synthesizers. The singer’s own voice has been synthesised to create effects. The analogue world meets electronics, with the studio complementing the recording in a church, to produce some of the most captivating music that won’t give itself away completely on a distracted listen.
