At the age of three, Gabrielle Susanne Kerner was given the nickname NENA. The name would stay so much so that she chose it for the stage. After a first band in which she sang in English, the German artist returned to her mother tongue.

With her new wave rock, NENA stands out and shines, even today, more than 40 years after her debut.
Mary Middlefield‘s songs reveal a delicate world, full of broken shards of life. Her voice is crystalline and luminous, but also carries an inexplicably powerful spleen.
