Nenda
What's it about?
Four years after the breakout success of "Mixed Feelings" (number 1 on FM4's annual charts 2021, nominated for the Amadeus Austrian Music Award), NENDA releases her debut album "KRRRA," which fights against racism, nationalism, and patriarchy, but also themes of losing her heart brother. NENDA is a musician, actress, and filmmaker. Her roots are a mix of Vienna, Tyrol, and Nigeria. She sings, raps, and writes her own lyrics. Lyrics that are combative, funny, and emotionally open. Musically, "KRRRA" is as diverse as its themes: hip hop, spoken word, and conscious rap meet indie rock, with moments of big band, jazz, and indie pop in between. It was written and produced together with music legend Femi Temowo (Amy Winehouse, Soweto Kinch). In the title track "KRRRA," she references Austrian Krampus tradition. The Krampus, a monster that puts "bad children" in its sack, is not feared here but is eaten by NENDA. Instead of being kidnapped by a symbol of nationalist and toxic masculinity, NENDA "grabs" its fur, pulls it on, and takes back power. "What a pain and it doesn't quite fit me but I prefer to have a man than any other." The first single "Mountain Goat" defies Austrian clichés she encounters abroad. Yodeling and a "Sound of Music" Alpine idyll are transformed into a hip hop track with a catchy hook. At the same time, it also addresses her exclusion within Austria. A struggle in both directions. "No matter what I do, there's someone who knows better, I have to prove that German is my language." "R2F," "Stellar," and the second single "Alone" are marked by deep grief. The songs deal with the mourning that has accompanied her since losing her heart brother. Melodic guitars and vulnerable singing — this honest emotional chaos is for everyone who has ever had the rug pulled out from under their feet. "yeah we didn't have a plan, apart for me to finally land this trick, unaware that time was ticking like a fucking lunatic" In "Pheasants," she channels her "inner Kendrick" and combines arrogant bragging with a ranting insult ("I am that bitch with an ego so big you might have to book a trip to New Zealand to see it."). She is supported by a drum solo from jazz drummer Jas Kayser (Lenny Kravitz, Jorja Smith, Nubya Garcia). NENDA's debut "KRRRA" presents a lot across 11 tracks. She shows who she is, what she can do, and what she has experienced. Tyrol, London, Vienna, singing, rapping, songwriting, love, grief, patriarchy. Racism, pride, and finding oneself. NENDA not only addresses many topics but also mixes many genres and skills. An album about losing a loved one and the everyday racism bullshit that aims to give strength to everyone struggling with the same.
