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.

Störst i världen

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vi gick på alla fester vi inte var bjudna till
Du skjutsa mig dit på din pakethållare
Jag satt i ett fönster och rökte blåa Camel
Men hamnade aldrig i bakgrunden
Fast du kunde prata med vem som helst

Vi var störst i världen
Ingen hade kunnat få ner oss på marken

Inget är lika liv och död längre
Som när du var min bästa vän
Vi var störst i världen
Vi var störst i världen

Jag blev kär i nån du redan legat med
Men somnade ändå varje lördag nära dig (nära dig nära dig)
Du berättade alla dina hemligheter (kommer du ihåg det)
Till Joel Kinnaman filmen
Som alltid var på i bakgrunden

Vi var störst i världen
Ingen hade kunnat få ner oss på marken
Inget är lika liv och död längre
Som när du var min bästa vän
Vi var störst i världen
Vi var störst i världen

Trodde inte jag var en sån som backar när det bränns
Men jag var inte där när det värsta hände
Hade med mig blommor till begravningen
När du satt på första raden

Vi var störst i världen
Ingen hade kunnat få ner oss på marken
Inget är lika liv och död längre
Som när du var min bästa vän

Vi var störst i världen
Vi var störst i världen

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Nadja Evelina's song Störst i världen talk about a friendship that was once invincible but eventually faded away due to unforeseen circumstances. The two friends were inseparable, attending parties they were not invited to and sharing secrets with each other. The singer fell in love with someone her friend had already been with, but the two friends remained close regardless. They thought they were unstoppable, but tragedy struck, and the friend died. The singer wishes she had been there for her friend and reflects on their once-invincible friendship.

The lyrics paint a nostalgic picture of a lost friendship that was once everything to the singer. The imagery of attending parties they were not invited to reflects their rebellious nature and the feeling of being invincible. The mention of the Joel Kinnaman film in the background draws parallels between the singer's life and the film, with both being stories of friendship, love, and grief.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Vi var störst i världen" (We were the greatest in the world) as a reminder of how the two friends felt when they were together. And the last stanza is reflective, ending the song on a melancholic note.

Line by Line Meaning

Vi gick på alla fester vi inte var bjudna till
We went to all the parties we weren't invited to

Du skjutsa mig dit på din pakethållare
You gave me a ride there on your carrier

Jag satt i ett fönster och rökte blåa Camel
I sat in a window and smoked blue Camels

Men hamnade aldrig i bakgrunden
But never ended up in the background

Fast du kunde prata med vem som helst
Even though you could talk to anyone

Vi var störst i världen
We were the biggest in the world

Ingen hade kunnat få ner oss på marken
No one could bring us down

Inget är lika liv och död längre
Nothing is as life and death anymore

Som när du var min bästa vän
As when you were my best friend

Jag blev kär i nån du redan legat med
I fell in love with someone you already slept with

Men somnade ändå varje lördag nära dig (nära dig nära dig)
But still fell asleep every Saturday near you (near you, near you)
