Landtapu by Melina Nora

On her debut EP „Landtapu“, Melina Nora moves back and forth between the dreamy Valais and the urban realms of Zurich. It is a growing up and growing away; a setting off, arriving and returning from time to time. „Landtapu“ is a disarmingly honest account from the diary of a young artist in her twenties who asks herself questions without necessarily seeking answers. It is a balancing act of heaviness and lightness; a look out of the train window, the blinding sun on one's face, the passing landscape in the periphery and one's thoughts elsewhere.

Melina Nora, the incandescent young musician and singer-songwriter, is taking Switzerland by storm. Leaving home was a departure, and yet, Melina Nora doesn’t deny her roots - her Valaisian heritage hums with the beat of her heart. In her songs, Melina Nora gently speaks of noise, consoles in times of sadness, and calmly narrates the hectic pace of life. For all who dream, seek, and long for.
