After meeting Swedish singer Love Olzon in 2003 and working with him and his brother, Simon Ryman, for a while, she found ways to develop her very own style, a mix of pop and folk. She released her first album Heartbreaktown on Sony in 2004.
In 2005 she released her second album Let There Be Love, almost completely written by herself, again with Love Olzon as producer. One week before its release in October, an EP called Visitor including a new version of "Heartbreaktown" came out.
Her album Pets & Friends was released April 2008 on her own label, Another Records.
Since the release of the album "Pets and Friends" Nina has toured all over Europe, played sold out shows, made TV-performances and received massive airplay Especially with the singles ”Combat Lover” and ”Beast”.
Red Leader Dream is an audio script for a seventh Star Wars saga that takes place on the desert planet Tatooine after "The Return of the Jedi". A true science fiction epic about love, hope and adventure viewed through a fantasy filter.
"When I was twelve I had a surgery done where metal rails were put into my back and during the long hospital stay, I saw the Star Wars films a countless number of times. Since then I have always wanted to play a role in the space masterpiece. After the somewhat unreal events in my very real life, I was inspired enough to write my own galactic saga " Nina says and stretches her robot back.
The only way to accomplish the task was to take the role as producer, casting director and record company boss herself. An exhausting and sometimes lonely job, but necessary to fulfill the vision.
The result was synthesized, atmospheric and rhythm-driven dreampop, where thoughts wander towards the Cocteau Twins, Enya and Stevie Nicks. Nina's strongest weapon, the infectious melodies and the almost supernatural and beautiful voice, has been given more room than ever.
The recording took place in Svenska Grammofon Studion in Gothenburg and participated did Jon Ölmeskog (Silverbullit), Linnea Olsson (Paintbox), Pontus Levahn (Torpedo and Tiger Lou), Jonas Gustafsson (Division of Laura Lee), and Ellekari Sander (The Tiny). And to mix the album Nina chose Christoffer Berg (Fever Ray, The Knife, Hird).
On November 5 Red Leader Dream will be released on the new label NinkinaRecordings with great hope that the album is accepted by George Lucas as a valid part of the Star Wars Extended Universe.
Beast
Nina Kinert Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Why do we always hunt each other down?
Why do we always smoke those cigarettes
And drink a lot of wine?
I know the kind of beast that I've become.
I know I don't always show my gratitude.
And I don't understand the things that you say... anymore.
I know it doesn't show that I love you.
No, I don't always like when children laugh
And I don't give a damn about your 14 year old.
But who am I trying to fool by acting this way?
I need a lot of wine.
I know the kind of beast that I've become.
Nina Kinert's song "Beast" is a haunting and introspective look at the darker parts of our nature that we try to keep hidden. The lyrics explore the idea of why we tend to always talk about negative things, hunt each other down both physically and emotionally, and turn to vices like smoking cigarettes and drinking wine in order to cope. The singer of the song acknowledges that she has become a beast, someone who is not always grateful or good at listening to others, and has lost touch with their emotions.
The chorus of the song, "I know the kind of beast that I've become" is a powerful statement of self-awareness, admitting that we all have a darker side that we struggle with. While the song is asking difficult questions about human nature, it also offers a sense of catharsis in acknowledging and accepting our flaws.
The song is a slow and mournful ballad, with Kinert's gentle voice accompanied by acoustic guitar and delicate piano. The simplicity of the instrumentation serves to emphasize the emotional weight of the lyrics, as though Kinert is baring her soul for the listener. Overall, "Beast" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that speaks to our shared humanity and the struggles we all face.
