Danish-Japanese pop star Mina Okabe released her newest EP Spinning Around today via Capitol Records. Spinning Around tells the story of heartbreak, good times, and everything in between. “Talk To Me” serves as the lead single to the project where Mina finds her confidence with an irresistible bossa nova groove.
“Talk to Me” is about the frustrating feeling that comes when someone you’re interested in is not opening up and is hard to read. I like how it stands out among my other songs – both lyrically and with the playful production – but most of all, because it gives me a feeling of confidence,” Mina says.
Spinning Around features three previously released singles from 2022 – ‘Take It Further’, ‘Waiting Is A Waste’, and ‘Rain’ – and three new songs. “The past year has gone by really fast – like a whirlwind of inspiration and creation in the best possible way. I feel that the many new and exciting experiences I have had can be heard in the songs I’ve written, expressing very different energies and emotions, from where I’m most vulnerable to a lighter feel of self-irony. And so, I thought Spinning Around was a suiting title for this collection of songs,” Mina Okabe says when speaking about the newest project.”
As one of the most promising new artists to break out of the Nordics, there’s a good chance the World of Mina Okabe will keep Spinning Around for a while.
