New Nordic spotlight: Nva
Nva has spent most of last year locked away in the studio working on new music, songs that will make up her debut EP - Cloud 9 - including her latest singles.
"It's about holding back from taking off from the ground because it’s scary to feel all the big emotions," explains Nva of her latest single ‘It’s Just You’.
"It's also a song where I express and realise that the person of interest deserves the best,” she explains, “Love - as scary as it may be to venture into - must want the best for the other to be true love.
“Here, I'm working on my fears for the sake of the other, as a counterpoint to the common attitude of 'because I deserve love'. It's an R&B-inspired song where Flatmate and I explore exactly this vulnerability and viewpoint."
The song, produced by Kristian Moen Vik aka Flatmate (Hillari, Sofiloud), is where pop come to meets R&B.
After five years in LA, where she among other things worked with Romeo Johnson (Stevie Wonder, Dr.Dre) and Ben O'Neill (Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Red Hot Chili Peppers), she returned to Norway and kickstarted her career in 2017, when she also signed her first record deal.
Since then she has had several successful releases, spanning from Colorful, which she co-wrote with Hanne Mjøen, Why Did You, which was featured on huge Spotify playlists Hits Don't Lie and New Pop, and Had Enough and Savage.
Two years since releasing Hearts Are Made For Breaking, she returned last year with What I Want about being at a crossroads in a relationship.
Last month she released the first single Sorry, Sorry and now It’s Just You.
Both are taken from her forthcoming debut EP Cloud 9 on 31 May. Pre-save it at this link now.
