Ji Nilsson - Blue Is the Saddest Colour
November 16, 2015

It’s finally time for the debut EP called “Blue is the Saddest Colour” from singer, songwriter and producer Ji Nilsson. The five songs on this musical master piece include the single “Special Kind”, three unreleased tracks and the hit “Heartbreakfree”. The hair is still blue and her fascination with the sea and the mermaids are as strong as ever. But when compared with the summer single “Perfume” these songs have a newfound depth, a beautiful autumn darkness that gives Ji even more colours to paint with. Yes, Blue is the saddest colour. But it can also be the most beautiful, romantic and exciting colour of them all.

You can check out her EP on our Spotify Playlist. Also, don’t forget to step by our nordic_by_nature instagram to see what Ji Nilsson is up to as she’s taking over our Instagram.

What are the images on the EP cover meant to evoke?

When I came up with the idea for the cover I thought of business people in the 80’s, like Wall Street - men and women who are always working, stressing, having to be confident all the time but maybe they’re really kind of sad and tired, like we all are sometimes. The mix of feelings is really appealing to me and very relatable. I’m wearing my dad’s old piano tie from the 80’s and that’s kind of funny, the bright colours of the titel and my name looks kind of happy too, but my face is really sad. I wanted it to feel tragi-comic.
The name of the EP is a homage to french movie “Blue Is The Warmest Color”.

What music were you all listening to at the time you recorded the record?

I almost never listen to songs when I record my songs, It’s too distracting and I feel like I have no space in my brain for that when I’m in a that kind of process. But one song I listened to a lot when I was away of the studio and out with my friends dancing was Classic Man by Jidenna.

What’s next for you? Do you currently have more material in the can slated for a future release?

I’m writing music with my super talented friend Marlene for her new releases, I will release a collab with Stockholm-based genious producer Woodz later in november, and after christmas I’ll be working on my next EP.

Where or how do you find creative inspiration?

By just living I think haha. All my songs are connected to stories I have around me, sometimes, or most of the time, they happened to me, and sometimes to a friend or a friend of a friend. I feel like I have a never ending library of stories  inside of me and as long as it’s there I’ll keep writing songs.

What question would you like to ask next weeks Artist of the Week?

What would you like to do for a living if you didn’t work with music? And why?
