In her new track “59:1 (fiftynine to one),” the singer from Germany, Nalan, goes out for a walk. In three minutes and 47 seconds she draws you in, showing the city streets, watching the sunset, and “pretending to be in New York.”
She thinks about the past – more precisely, the early 2000s – when, as a teenager, she gathered her most memorable stories. “Right there, right there I had my first kiss,” “that’s where I went to pubs pretending I was 18.” The time machine takes the singer back to her teenage years and dreams. Just as tears can bring pain, they also bring joy – just like the literal meaning of her name, Nalan.
