Swedish Cosmopolitan article on Nina Persson

The Swedish edition of Cosmopolitan magazine has an article about Nina Persson.

For those of you who don’t speak Swedish, here is my translation.

After 7 years, Sweden most beautiful start is back with a new album and a new attitude.

Have you changed since you moved to New York?
I’ve become much calmer. I need to be in an environment where the tempo is much calmer, otherwise I’ll become frustrated. I’ve become better at talking, giving compliments and betting nicer with people. I become a bit crazy when Swedes are so snooty. In New York, they are so much nicer to each other. If I go out to buy toilet paper, my day is better when I have two good conversations with people I don’t know. Actually.

How have you created your calm and self calming lifestyle?
I have understood that I become stressed when I’ve dealing with everything. I have learned, from experience, to know what is important to concern yourself with and what is not.

Ar you conceited?
I’m much more stressed about that in Sweden actually, it’s kind of a fascist fashion. In New York, I think everyone looks much cooler. Doesn’t matter if someone in an outsider, college student or fashion icon.

How is it working with your husband?
It’s great! We worked together before we became a couple. So, we know our roles. If you’re going to work with the person you’re married to, you must know that you can’t take your “home relation” to the job.

What should someone know if they meet their boyfriend at work?
To not become an annoying team that nobody want to oppose. Don’t push other people out and let them get close to you. When Nathan I had had just met, I sang a song on his record, and his record company wouldn’t release the CD unless the song would be a single. We didn’t want that. We didn’t want do a video and “become a couple”. We then talked about not even working together. It was a good, but annoying experience.
