Nina looked back on her first encounter with Julia Fordham, the original singer of Love Moves in Mysterious Ways, and shared Fordham’s thoughts on her version.
To recall, Nina’s cover became the biggest hit off her third album Nina Live!, which was certified Diamond after it sold over 300,000 units almost 20 years ago now.
“I even sang at her show, I think it was at Shangri-La, and after her show, I brought my Diamond Award for her to sign. She said, ‘I love your version of Love Moves in Mysterious Ways. Thank you so much for doing it again in your own style,’” the Soul Siren shared at the intimate press conference for her Love Nina concert presented by Ticket1 at The Theatre at Solaire this Oct. 30, 8 p.m. “She loved it, she told me.” Nina said she never ever contemplated
quitting the music scene. She has survived the changing trends and is now on her 22nd year in the business after making her recording debut in 2002.
“Even if you feel like leaving, but if that’s where you were placed, and that’s your task — to be an artist and share music — you won’t disappear. If it’s your destiny to be an artist and singer, no one can take that from you, not even yourself,” she said.
“Even when I think of going down a different path or profession, I always come back to it. It’s like I’m constantly being pushed in this direction,” she added.
