Welcome to the world of musical
and visual multiverses, on land and in the imagination!
Nadja Itäsaari is a songwriter, producer, poet and multi-artist based in Gothenburg. The vision is to create live experiences where the mix of music, poetry, performance art and moving image draws the audience into intense audiovisual landscapes with humor constantly present.
Her biggest sources of inspiration are extreme weather, birdsong, animals/nature, imagination, art and human psychology. Sea and forest collide with everyday concrete house views.
Nadja just released a new Single and Video, available on all social platforms from12/12-2024. Känna Igen (To Feel Again) is a song about the fear of not feeling again – yet a balladlike hymn to cradle suppressed emotions and allow feelings to come.
I believe that at some point in life it’s unavoidable to meet emotional turmoil and sadness. But I think that If we choose to accept, listen inside and feel what we really feel. Maybe say it or sing it out loud. We might in an unknown point of time, find ourselves in the opposite of what we just felt. Those little or big moments makes a huge difference to us as beings. - Says Nadja
Känna Igen (To Feel Again) is originally written by Nadja Itäsaari - remembering the feeling of what life felt like before her sobriety that had it's start 11th of June in 2020. She wrote the song as a blend of Swedish ”Visa” (a song with lyrics in focus) and classical RnB. Axel Jane Olsson got the task in 2023 to write piano for the song. Axel and Nadja, who also were classmates and has since remained friends since upper secondary school 2002-2005 in the suburb Angered in Gothenburg. They both share a mutual love for both genres. So when the song was rehearsed enough, they singlehandedly recorded it at Klangverket in 2024.
Amongst the instruments on the recording you can hear the Electric reed Organ, Organa 30 that they borrowed while recording at Klangverket Music/Room. The Hohner Organa were distributed in various versions between about 1950 and 1970.
The lyrics are edited by "Gårdaprofilen" to reach maximal emotional depth in 2023, Mixed by Nadja and Anneli Rosvall. Rosvall has also carefully mastered the song to bring out depth in both lyrics and backing Instrumentation.
