About the episode: Adna has been part of the Negative White universe for a decade. The first review dates back to 2015: Run, Lucifer led to the conclusion: "gentle music is a deadly weapon." An interview followed, backstage at the KiFF in Aarau, where she said something that has stayed. I've Been Here Before is the latest chapter in that same story. The signature drums, the layered vocal canon, the mantra-esque labyrinth of her composition, and then the lyric that makes everything click. Nine years after that interview, she's still singing the same truth. Because it's still true.
About Adna: Adna Kadic is a Swedish-Bosnian singer-songwriter based in Berlin. Her parents who fled the war in the Balkans, she grew up in Gothenburg and came to music almost by accident. Her catalogue spans four albums: Night, Run, Lucifer, Closure, and Black Water. She writes directly into the difficult; vulnerability not as aesthetic but as necessity.
