Italian artist, Nina Chiodin, who is based in Berlin has just released her hypnotising neo-futurist, soul-infused single MORE – the artist’s fifth track since her 2020 debut with Drunk Love.
The track is exquisite with profound and moving lyricism including the opener, “she’s so beautiful when she’s high dancing with the moon, she don’t need no music cos her heartbeat is her favourite tune“. The narrative of the song is brought to life with flawless, syncopated delivery from the artist. who has a decadent flow.
Nina sings about an ex-girlfriend who she says, “seemed to have a twisted, yet euphoric view on life which turned out to be caused by a drug problem”. The artist sings, “she’s just perfect, when she’s wearing nothing but her skin… she parties on from dusk til dawn, she can’t stop til the pills are gone“. The flow of the artist has to be acknowledged again, with so much depth and prowess juxtaposed with ethereal layered choruses.
With MORE, Nina Chiodin has found her personal style in a mix of various genres. The Berlin-based music student’s songs are characterized by real and honest lyrics, jazz-inspired chords, neo-soul melodies, and hip-hop / r&b drum patterns and vocal lines.
The 21-year-old singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist cites some of her biggest inspirations as Little Simz, Erykah Badu, Cleo Sol, Frank Ocean, and Jorja Smith. We love these references, but Nina is really creating her own canvas and wave with this project.
A music video for MORE is set to follow in the coming weeks, which we cannot wait to see, judging by the artworks featured shot by Charlie Alvernhe, we can anticipate quite iconic. The video, mostly shot on film, will show Nina recreating the fun yet draining dates she had with this girl in the streets of Berlin.
The two scheduled releases after MORE will be on the 25th of March and on the 22nd of April. Nina Chiodin is also currently working on a collaboration with a rapper on a jazz rap song. Her next gigs are scheduled in various Venues in Berlin in March 2022.
