Review

The debut album Nena isn’t just a relic of early-’80s synth-pop — it’s the sound of youthful defiance wrapped in neon light. From the first shimmering chords, there’s an undeniable sense of optimism and restlessness, a generation staring down the Cold War with synths and smiles.

Of course, “99 Luftballons” became the global anthem, but the album is far more than its signature hit. Songs like “Nur geträumt” and “Leuchtturm” showcase Nena’s ability to blend vulnerability and electricity, floating between dreamlike melodies and the anxious pulse of the era. The production — glossy yet sincere — captures the essence of German Neue Deutsche Welle: catchy, cool, and slightly melancholic.

There’s something timeless about how Nena balances innocence and urgency. It’s a pop record that dances at the edge of disaster and still finds beauty in the chaos. - Emily
