Nadja Carolina performs the minimalist dream pop songs from her band Carolina Lee’s new album, *It’s Still Now*, in stripped-down arrangements alongside the album’s guitarist and producer, Max Braun (who also produced 2 albums for Paul Armfield). With her dark timbre, she sings the melodies of these slow, dreamy, and at times hypnotic compositions. This creates a pull that draws you into a time loop between yesterday and today. Despite all its melancholy, “It’s Still Now” sounds more playful and hopeful than the debut album “Haunted Houses” (2021). It brings to mind female singer-songwriters of the 1970s and the dream pop of the 1990s. “It’s Still Now” is also a personal album. The lyrics deal with loss and new beginnings. They tell of walks through her hometown of Berlin—a place that sometimes feels foreign—of new love, caregiving, and lonely nights in half-empty bars, where one is unprepared for the hope that suddenly strikes. The album was recorded in collaboration with musician and producer Max Braun in an old farmhouse in northern Germany and will be released on November 29, 2024, via Marzipan Records.
