Denmark | Medina - "Lige bange"

BRAND NEW

Danish singer Medina has a new single! "Lige bange" shows us a different side of hers, delivering a soft, synth-based ballad that explodes in the chorus, all wrapped in a very appealing retro groove. In the song, Medina talks about how "telling others that you can be as scared as relatives is something we share too little with each other. This song has taken me most of my life to put into words. It's okay to be scared and it's okay not to always be the strongest. My dear sister; you make me a better person and I love you every single day".
