Nina Chuba Releases Second Album 'Ich lieb mich, ich lieb mich nicht'

The 19-song set distills her twenties into sharper self-reflection after a pressure-filled rise.

Overview

  • The album arrived Friday with a broad palette that spans hip-hop, rock, dancehall and piano ballads across 19 tracks.
  • Early reviews highlight the stylistic range while questioning some lyrics and persona shifts, producing a broadly mixed critical read.
  • Chuba frames the project as a candid look at self-doubt and growing up, following a period of burnout, severe anxiety and therapy after her breakout.
  • In recent interviews she criticized social media’s outsized role for Gen Z even as her reach remains large, with roughly 1.2 million TikTok followers and about 5.5 million monthly Spotify listeners.
  • Pre-release singles set the tone, including “Rage Girl,” and the album features one guest appearance from rapper Makko, with an arena tour formally set to begin in late October.
