NINA - Gold Heart

Review by Thorisson

As mentioned in our review of Carnival Night, Berlin-based NINA is not afraid of exploring new dimensions of her songwriting. As part of a trilogy of new releases, the synthwave queen has just dropped Gold Heart; an enchanting love ballad swimming in airy synths and shimmering guitars. From the very beginning, a harp sequence sets the tone for what is to come. NINA’s heartfelt vocal performance is beautifully accompanied by ethereal harmonies and an atmospheric soundscape. An unexpected, yet captivating key change appears in the middle of the song, paving way for the song´s pace to slowly pick up towards a crescendo bursting with emotion.

Joined by synth sensation Radio Wolf and legendary songwriter Ricky Wilde, it perhaps comes as no shock that the song’s arrangement is spectacular, to say the least. Gold Heart is the kind of song that compels you to stop everything you’re doing to focus solely on it. A 4 minute journey of euphoria and emotional warmth. Speaking of journeys, we are beyond excited to see where the final piece of NINA’s trilogy takes us!
