"I'm neighbors with half of the band, but we wouldn't make another record".

-Nina Persson for Vanity Fair magazine, may 24 2023. Picture by ANNA DRVNIK.

Liberty of expression without pressure

"I've spent my whole life on music, and there's phases for everything. The Cardigans gave us everything all at once and very quickly, and although there came a time when we stopped recording, we still give concerts, but we have no plans on making any new records", says Nina on videocall, from her home in Malmö. "We all have our lives, and we are in very different moments. Me, for example, I not only make music, but I’m also a teacher, I'm a mother, I couldn't keep living like we used to around those years. Nor my musical interests are the same. I've had a lot of luck in my career, I was able to do very interesting stuff". [...]

The relationship with The Cardigans

[...] "We're neighbors! Our kids are friends! Currently, I live in Sweden, in Malmö, and two of the members are neighbors of mine, on the same block. There is no drama between us, but it isn't true that we plan on coming back together. We started too soon and lived very frenetic years. Now, we get along, and we give a handful of concerts throughout the year, but that's it. We have other interests".

There's life after Gran Turismo

"I don't miss the fame. Musically speaking, I've done well, obviously these are not the same hits that we could have with The Cardigans, but with A Camp and the rest of my music I've had my share of success too. I'm very conscious of the fact that The Cardigans was a worldwide phenomenon, but being tied to a project that only revolves around making hits has its downside too, although it might take years to see it. It has taken me a lot of time to find the music that I wanted to make and the kind of career I wanted to have".
