NUSA DERENDA Your History



Did anyone mention ABBA? We're serious now! You'd think after Pandora's I'll Be Gone DSTP couldnt find a track more ABBA-licious. Alas, we have in the form of Nusa Derendas rather amazing Your History. It sounds like the song that Alcazar always wanted to record but their rationality got the better of them.

Nuša Derenda's full name is Anuška Žnideršič and marks our first Slovenian singer on this blog. You might remember her when she was robbed of a Eurovision win in 2001 in Copenhagen with her stunning Energy. She came 7th. Much like Gina G's Ooh Ahh...

Your History comes from a special CD given away at Slovenian festivals in 2001 so its quite rare in its English form. Her albums are a must and we'd highly suggest the Na Stiri Oci LP as it not only includes her Slovenian dance hits but also a Eurovision medley which contains the Danish win Fly On The Wings Of Love, the British win Puppet On A String, Isreals proud win of Diva! and the Swedish wins Waterloo and Take Me to Your Heaven altogether for 6 minutes of utter camptastic bliss

Words: ABBA, Eurovision, ABBA, ABBA, ABBA, ABBA, did we mention ABBA?, the Winner Takes It All, One Of Us, ABBA, ABBA, ABBA

This is a great song. Another great Nusa song is called Devil (or the Slovenian version thereof) from her 2005 album.

This is a great song, indeed. But please, it has nothing to do with ABBA. :/

Nothing to do, but greatly influenced :)
