Four years after her solo debut I’m Good. The Crying Tape, the Berlin-based musician releases her new album 2009. The nine-song work was primarily created in Istanbul and Berlin and will be released on April 24, 2026 via Mansions and Millions. For the album, Nalan creates a fictitious 2009, fed by her own digicam archive from back then, from which the entire artwork also comes, and the memories that arise while writing. Sometimes it is transfiguring and nostalgic, as in her track Everything was Easy in 2009, then again dark and lamenting, as in Down The Drain or Ok. 2009 is both the monster that can be seen on the cover and the girl in the background, of whom it is not clear whether she is laughing or crying.
