Niina has just released a great music video for ‘answer to your problem’, taken from her debut album ‘honestly, does this smell off to you?’. The London-based rising star has been on our radar for a while and her debut has been on repeat ever since it’s release last month.
About the new single and music video she mentions on Instagram:
“Huge love to the teeny tiny team of absolute gems that helped me make this video. I didn’t have any budget, but I felt like it was something I wanted to make to help close a chapter of my life that was all a bit painful, and this song is about that chapter. I won’t bore you with the details, but I wasn’t feeling all that mentally well, and then I had an incident where a stranger, who turned out to be my landlord, let himself into my room while I was sleeping in what I thought was the safety of my bed. Nothing sinister happened—he came to yell at me for having a party the night before and waking up the neighbours—but it was quite a shock, and it royally fucked my life up for the six months to follow.
It’s for this reason I want to say that sometimes in life, people will underestimate and devalue you. They will make an evaluation on what they think they can get away with and cross boundaries that make you question your own worth in this world. They will make you feel small in order to make themselves feel big. When this happens, it’s a false reality. They’re trying to make you look through a window that makes your own world dim, and it’ll probably work for them for a while. You might shine a little less bright, but in time, you will heal, and then some. I’ve done my healing, and it’s at this point I’d like to send out a big fat fuck you ☺️, so here it is: fuck you, David from Barons Court.”
‘honestly, does this smell off to you?‘ is out now on all platforms.
