The same year, she followed up with the Jonas Lundqvist collaboration " Fastnat för dig ", which spun diligently on P3 and received good mentions in a number of different blogs. The debut EP " Never the same / Always the same " was a collection of indie pop songs which according to GAFFA "Captures the Swedish melancholy perfectly". The intro track " Never Calm " was described as Sandra Beijer's most played song last year. In Nadja Evelina's world, we move through moments that remain long after you have experienced them. To be hopeful in someone's hall and hungover and lost in the stairwell. To stand on lonely subway platforms along the blue, not be able to get out of bed in Bredäng or tumble down Bondegatan in happiness. “The album was written during my first years in Stockholm. For me, it has been both about writing myself out of a love story, a kind of fuck you, but also about processing my move here, to conquer the new. By writing about different places and situations, the city has started to feel like mine, like home, and that process runs like a common thread through the songs. ”

When Nadja Evelina now releases music, she does it herself via her own, newly started record company Hjärtat Recordings. With full power over her art, she hopes that her vision is heard more clearly than ever - it must be felt, otherwise it can be. “For me, it felt like a natural step to go completely independent. Since writing is my most important thing, I wanted to be in a position where I can make creative decisions based solely on my own gut feeling. Now I am. It's the scariest and best thing I've ever done. ”

During the spring and summer of 2019, Nadja was out on her "Heartbreak Tour" where she played all over Sweden and also in Norway.

Aldrig lugnt

Samma smutsiga klubb samma dansgolv
Som det var när vi två höll ihop
Och du sa det var lugnt men det var det aldrig
Det var aldrig lugnt
Jag var glad du var full när vi dansa
Och vi valde att sova ihop
Och jag sa det var lugnt men det var det aldrig
Det var bara dumt

För jag vet du såg när jag försvann
Såg direkt att jag var hans
Var aldrig värd en andra chans med dig
Det var aldrig lugnt

Jag minns när jag går våra gator
Hur det var när vi två var ihop
Fast jag vet dina vänner de pratar om hur jag förstörde allt

Och jag vet de såg när jag försvann
De visste var jag var någonstans
Var aldrig värd en andra chans med dig
Det var aldrig lugnt

Det var aldrig lugnt
Det var aldrig aldrig värt en andra chans med dig
Det var aldrig lugnt

Och jag vet du såg när jag försvann
Såg direkt att jag var hans
Var aldrig värd en andra chans med dig
Och jag vet du tyckte jag var kall
Jag släppte taget om din hand
Jag kunde aldrig stanna kvar med dig

Du jag vet du såg när jag försvann
Såg direkt att jag var hans
Var aldrig värd en andra chans med dig
Och jag vet du tyckte jag var kall

Jag släppte taget om din hand
Jag kunde aldrig stanna kvar med dig

Samma smutsiga klubb samma dansgolv
We're back at the same dirty club, on the same dance floor

Som det var när vi två höll ihop
Just like it was when we were together

Och du sa det var lugnt men det var det aldrig
You said it was okay, but it never really was

Det var aldrig lugnt
It was never calm

Jag var glad du var full när vi dansa
I was happy you were drunk while we danced

Och vi valde att sova ihop
And we chose to sleep together

Och jag sa det var lugnt men det var det aldrig
And I said it was okay, but it never really was

Det var bara dumt
It was just stupid

För jag vet du såg när jag försvann
Because I know you saw me disappear

Såg direkt att jag var hans
And you knew I was with someone else

Var aldrig värd en andra chans med dig
I was never worth a second chance with you
