Nea (born Linnea Södahl) is an acclaimed singer-songwriter from Sweden. Not too long ago, she released a visually appealing music video for her new self-love single, titled, “A Lover Like Me,” via Milkshake/Sony Music Sweden. The song was written and produced by Nea and Daniel Ledinsky (Tove Lo, Shakira, Rihanna).
Nea – “A Lover Like Me” music video
“You know I’d fall instantly if you had a little swag like me. If you could connect to my inner feels or had a similar energy. I’ve been trying this and that, I’ve been doing him and her. But nobody else will do. And it’s about me, it’s not ‘bout you. If my mama loved you like she loves me. But she’s hard to please, there’s only one me. I’ve been longing for hands on my body, it’s just no one out there seems to get me.” – lyrics
‘A Lover Like Me’ tells an intriguing tale about a young woman who can’t get any satisfaction in the love department. Therefore, she wishes she had a lover like herself, somebody who would give her the action she is desperately searching for. Later, she tells herself, “We could stay in bed all day, then go out and stay ‘til late. Imagine how happy we could be if it was only me and me.”
Armed with a fresh sound rooted in the raw undertones of ’90s grunge, seamlessly melded with Nea’s signature pop sensibility, “A Lover Like Me” is a self-love anthem dripping with magnetic charisma and fearless grit. Furthermore, “A Lover Like Me” is the first single to be released from Nea’s forthcoming debut album, entitled, TRANSPARENT, due out in fall 2023.
“I wish I had a lover like me.”
“‘Lover Like Me’ is one of those rare songs that just wrote itself. I had a lyric idea; Daniel played some chords and two hours later we had the song. I love the rawness of the vocals and the vibe, that there’s an edge to it.” – Nea explained
Nea steps into 2023 with 800 million+ streams as a solo artist. Her “A Lover Like Me” single marks a bold start to a year destined for massive growth for Nea. With her debut album slated for fall, Nea is also confirmed as an expert panelist alongside Carl Falk and Elias Kapari on Sweden’s forthcoming Songland shoot-off, which debuts this spring.
