Namika a young woman, as beautiful and eloquent as her oriental name ("the writer") already announces. With its roots in the Moroccan coastal city of Nador and her home Frankfurt am Main, Namika sees itself as a cultural hybrid with zeitgeist, in whose chest always two hearts beat at the same time.
Namika shows that rap does not always have to be a stylistic device of mere coolness and hardness, but can also be an expression of a sympathetic young woman with visions and dreams. Combined with her singing talent, she also breathes soul into her songs in a charming way. She loves the silence as well as the loud bass, the colourful nightlife as well as the stories of everyday life. Namika's love of diversity is also reflected in her sound images, each created from a mixture of different urban music styles. You hear accurate and honest lyrics accompanied by a mix of alternative pop, hip-hop beats and oriental sounds. Namika plays with the contrasts of hard beats and soft sounds, creating new and dynamic sound images.
The debut album of the young artist bears the name "Nador" and will be released on 24.07.2015 under the roof of JIVE Germany. Two years of creative work are included in this work, which is in collaboration with the producer team of the Beatgees (Curse, Lary, MoTrip, Olson, Chima, Fabian Römer and much more.) has been created. Combining her ideas with these creative influences, Namika has created an authentic debut album that goes into depth with all the refreshing ease.
In her songs, she tells from the life of a young, modern woman and hardly stops at any topic. She sings of love and complicated relationships, from nightlife, split identities, and painful experiences. Each song has its own story and reveals another facet of Namika's personality.
The search for one's own identity and the theme of friendship are also integral parts of the album. When asked who she wrote her songs for, the artist answers: "For young people who can identify with my music and my lyrics. Who have the same experiences want to lose themselves in the big city to find themselves. Who want to enjoy life, just like me."
