Titles like Landtapu, Ggeitu or Permi may not immediately reveal their meaning to non-Valais listeners. But once you start listening, it hardly matters anymore: gentle, honest, delicate, playful and crystal clear, Melina Nora’s “wallisertitsch indie-pop music” slips past our minds and straight into our hearts, sparking personal associations along the way. Those who understand every lovingly curated linguistic image crafted by the Zug-born artist with Valais roots are lucky. And everyone else who gets to listen: just as lucky. Right on time for the m4music weekend, Melina Nora will release her second EP Momänt. Which means you can be there almost in real time for the next step of an artist who knows her roots — and boldly keeps evolving her sound.
