Levina - Unexpected (2017)

In addition to her unique voice, Levina, the German Eurovision Song Contest participant in 2017, is the first to experience the pleasant unrestraint. Where does the 25-year-old take her serenity? 'This may be because I've been making music for so long - just not in front of such a big audience,' laughs Levina. 'I have the feeling that I have been preparing for this moment for years.'

This particular, unobtrusive joy of life is also reflected in her songs. It is true that Levinas texts often have a deeper level, which also does not shy away from polarizing social issues, but their compositions always find a positive view. 'This is very important to me. After a difficult life phase, I have realized that one can also get something positive out of something negative. I have learned that one must motivate oneself and should stand for itself then much can succeed. This is also the main theme of my album 'Unexpected'. The title stands for my situation, my unexpected victory in the preliminary decision and everything that has started with it, but he also deliberately stems from my ESC song 'Perfect Life': 'I come alive inside the light of the unexpected'; It is there and this sentence is at the moment completely for my life. '

In addition to Levinas Eurovision's single "Perfect Life," written by the US platinum composer Lindy Robbins, who has already written hits for stars like Jason Derulo, David Guetta, Olly Murs, and Demi Lovato, they are on 'Unexpected' At the end of April, the dancelastige Madizin mix to the single and eleven more songs to appear. Some of them are written or co-written and co-written by her. Just like 'Perfect Life', 'The Current' describes Levina's attitude very well when it comes to not seeing everything so dogged and inspired by what life provides for us. Also, "Stop Right There" reveals parallels: 'In times when people talk a lot about one, one should try not to be influenced. You have to protect your head and ensure that the criticism does not go too close. 'Courage to Say Goodbye' is about the end of a relationship and the courage that it costs, not to let it go on bending and breaking. 'It is not a sunset when it is not working anymore - it is very difficult to pronounce it for the first time.'

'Nothing At All' wrote Levina completely alone. The song, which also has a political message at a second glance, was ready before the production of 'Unexpected'. 'The song is about xenophobia and the need to think before you project your own suffering to others. Sometimes you'd rather not say anything before you say something stupid. ' Similarly, songs like 'Echo', 'Ordinary People', or 'Nothing More Beautiful', are all determined and especially songs, all of which provide the appropriate business card for a brilliant album coming from a young musician who knows what she is doing Without presenting it as a self-purpose, and for which empowerment is not a mere hashtag.
