Wunder gescheh’n

Nena

A profound pivot from neon synth-pop to a somber, piano-led meditation on grief. Recorded following personal tragedy, it is Nena's most vulnerable and human work.

This is the record where the '99 Luftballons' girl grows up and shows you her broken heart.

A heavy, dignified sadness that slowly transforms into a fragile but persistent sense of hope.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The title track's swelling chorus that manages to sound like a prayer and a pop hit simultaneously.
The fragile, lullaby-like simplicity of 'Schlaflied' that feels like a private recording.
The shift into French lyrics on 'La vie c’est la chance' where the vocal delivery becomes noticeably more intimate.
