Beside the support of the already established Brun, Kinert rose to prominence in 2007 following the use of her song "Through Your Eyes" in a worldwide publicity campaign for the Swedish car company SAAB. A song she did not write, but lent her voice to. In October 2007, she was featured on the Steve Jansen album Slope, singing on "Playground Martyrs (Reprise)" (another version of that song on the album featured Jansens' brother David Sylvian).
In November 2010, she released Red Leader Dream, an album inspired by the Star Wars trilogy. It was issued by her new own label NinkinaRecordings.

Feels Better
Nina K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know when
My love turned to a favor
I don't have no explanations
I'll leave and keep the memories
I'm not headstrong, no endeavor
My making's in the reveries
But I'm not leaving, just loving you off
It feels better, better, better
When I'm near you
All about you
Feels better around you
I'm not having
No more power
My love turned into favors
I wont linger, no more waiting
For our love turning to memories
I don't have none now, still a light shines
But withers from your bedside
Someone else is making it up
But our love was not a failure for you
It feels better, better, better
When I'm near you
All about you
Feels better, better, better, better
Around you
I don't know why
I don't know when
(Leave the old to fill my heart with up and down
Come on baby help me, help me lose my mind)
In “Feels Better”, Nina K is trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship. She doesn’t know why or when her love turned into a favor, but she has accepted that it has happened. She has no explanations and is leaving, but will keep the memories. She is not making any effort to stay or get the love back, but the memories will always be with her. Nina K knows that she is not headstrong, but she still loves the memories that she has of the relationship, even if they are just in her dreams. She is not leaving; she is just loving the other person off as she knows that someone else is now in their life.
The chorus of “Feels Better” is about how Nina K feels around the person she loves. She knows that it feels better when she is near them, and everything is about them. She feels better around them, and it feels like everything is perfect. Nina K no longer has any power or control over the relationship, and she knows that her love has turned into favors. She will not wait around any longer, as she knows that the memories of the love they once shared will be with her no matter what.
