ELLE + TOMMY HILFIGER

June 8, 2018

The new ELLE is OUT and it’s my fav cover ever! + Backstage @ Tommy Hilfiger 2018 Milan Fashion Show and my special interview with the icon!

 

What do people do at fashion weeks?

Searching for online inspiration from Instagram fashion week photos? We all do that!  Sometimes, when I finally look up from my phone, I realise I spent 2 whole hours scrolling through fashion week feeds.
So.. I was, of course,  curious about the fashion week experience.
My schedule is usually pretty hectic, so I cannot attend the fashion shows. But when I was invited as a special guest by ELLE Romania and Tommy Hilfiger for his Fall/Winter 2018 show, I instantly knew I had to be there!

You think anyone with a smartphone can be a fashion blogger or that all that fashion magazines editors do is travel and have fun?  Not really. It’s a lot of work.
I went with my friends and stylists Roxana Voloseniuc and Domnica Margescu from ELLE Romania to Milan.
They were attending fashion show after fashion show, from morning till night, always having to catch the next one and always looking stylish and fresh! If you are a girl, you know that’s not easy!  There are also meetings, interviews and photo shootings, managing photographers, studios, styling and more.
I guess is true that in every field of work you have to be passionate and hard working.

The shows and clothes are incredible and apparently absolutely worth  coming back at the hotel at 2 a.m. in the morning only to start over the next morning. At least if you’re Roxana or Domnica.  As for me, it was a really cool and fun experience and I would definitely do it again, as long as it’s only for one or two days :))  Only music, my concerts and fans can keep me running like this!

Watch my interview with Tommy Hilfiger. OMG I was so nervoussss! And excited in the same time!
The meeting took place just before the show. It was a meeting between two people who love fashion and music. I was impressed by how nice and easy to talk to he is.

 

Fun fact about him: in high school he was so small he had to sneak weights in his pockets to get on the football team. If this doesn’t show ambition to do the things you feel passionate about no matter the obstacles, I don’t know what does! 🙂
Such an inspiration!

My outfit for the show:

For the show,  Milano Congressi was transformed into a Formula One racetrack. The collection worked great with the racing-themed red, white, black and blue. It was all about cars and beautiful sexy, confident people!  Striped leather trousers, plastic visors and other things I love and wear for my concert outfits (nylon, spandex, chiffon). It felt like a natural match for me.

 

This  was an ELLE and Tommy Hilfiger project and we did the photo shooting for the coverstory in Milan.
One of the fastest photoshootings ever! In only 4 hours, we finished everything just in time for a traditional Italian lunch.

 

 

What’s your Nirvana? 

December 14, 2017

#Nirvana #INNA #newsong #newalbum

What is NIRVANA?

​ ​

It’s my new baby. It’s out and it’s name is “NIRVANA”

Nirvana for me has a very simple meaning. It means “cool”, cause my new album is reeeeally cool! 🙂

 Your Nirvana might be when you listen to a song you love or when you go snowboarding.

My Nirvana is when I travel with my friends, see the world, eat tacos, drink beer and dance on raeggaeton :))

 

My Nirvana is my family and my team Global Records. Love you guys! I would never be able to do it without you!
My Nirvana is when I perform on the stage and I see your happy faces! It makes me fly and gives me a reason to never stop!
My Nirvana is music and making people happy. No matter where life takes me I will always try to make people happy.
My hope for this album is to help you find joy and peace of mind in this chaos called life.  Even if just a little bit! That is Nirvana!
There’s a lot of INNA in this album! And there’s a lot of you in this album! After all, I do this for you, you who are listening to my music!
Thank you for all your support!  You guys rock!

Now, about the album: “Nirvana” is my fifth studio album. You will find it exclusively in LIDL​ stores starting December 11th all around Romania.  For this record, I collaborated with multiple producers, including Sak Noel, Marcel Botezan, Sebastian Barac, Thomas Troelsen, Alex Cotoi and Vlad Lucan. I’m happy to say that I call most of them my friends, since we know each other and work together from a very long time.

And guess what? Three songs are in Romanian and starting now you cand listen my new single “Nirvana!” which reached more than 12 000 000 views on YouTube Enjoy!

Can’t wait to hear what you think about it!
For this single I worked with Barac Sebastian-Alexandru, Botezan Marcel, Lucan Vlad-Octavian and for the lyrics Thomas Troelsen and me 🙂
Care e Nirvana ta?
“Nirvana” e noul meu album. E aici si il puteti asculta!
Ce este Nirvana pentru mine?
Nirvana reprezinta un nou inceput. Un nou album si o noua sansa ca muzica mea sa ajunga la voi!
Nirvana este atunci cand calatoresc cu prietenii mei, cand vedem lumea si mancam tacos sau dansam pe raggaeton.
Nirvana este timpul petrecut alaturi de familia mea si echipa mea Global Records. Nu as putea sa fac nimic din tot ce fac fara voi!

Nirvana este atunci cand sunt pe scena si cant! Atunci cand vad fetele fanilor mei! Sunt cea mai fericita atunci cand fac alti oameni fericiti. Asta e motivul pentru care exista INNA​.

Acest album este inspirat de voi, cei care imi ascultati muzica si pentru voi.
Va multumesc pentru sustinere si pentru ca imi asculti muzica. Sunteti cei mai tari!

Albumul Nirvana este albumul cu numarul 5 din cariera mea. Il p​u​teti gasi exclusiv in magazinele LIDL​ din România începând cu  data de 11 Decembrie.

Am colaborat cu producatori ca Sak Noel, Marcel Botezan, Sebastian Barac, Thomas Troelsen, Alex Cotoi si Vlad Lucan. Pe majoritatea ii numesc prieteni, avand in vedere ca am lucrat pe albumele anterioare si ne cunoastem de ceva ani, ceea ce a facut ca munca la acest album sa nu mai poate fi numita munca​, ci un fel de party cu prieteni… Doar ca la studio 🙂

Abia astept sa aud parerile voastre despre acest single!

Peace and love,

INNA

ISTANBUL LOVES RULETA!

September 29, 2017

I launched my new song “Ruleta” almost 3 months ago!!! Ever since that day it makes 1 million views on YouTube every day! I’m proud of this song and really happy about its evolution until now!

 

 

In between concerts, I decided to do a small promo in Turkey to promote “Ruleta”! I love Turkey and my all my Turkish fans! They are always there for me and my music. From my very first song! That’s why, no matter how busy my schedule is, I make sure I visit Istanbul and all the radios that keep me in their ears and hearts.

 

 

 

After so much travel, I got to stay 3 whole days in the same city, same bed, same pillow!

 

 

 

 

 

The first day I had just one interview at the hotel. So after that, we went for a night walk around the city. Istanbul is amazing! I feel like layers of history unfold in front of me just walking down it’s streets. I like to walk down the ones that are lined with sidewalk cafes. Everything is brighly colored and people are having fun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The next day we strated early at NumberOne TV and Radio. I really like coming here. The place is beautiful and the interviews are funny.

This time we did a small contest where the loser had to …. You have to see the interview to understand 😂

 

Next was Pal Fm, Power Fm and Fenomen Radio. I prepared for them a special acoustic version of “Ruleta”!

 

 

#PALMADEMALLORCA #SAILING

Every year I have a concert in Palma de Mallorca at Titos. It’s one of the clubs I started singing and I always come back! I appreciate the people here very much and they appreciated me from the beginning.

Plus ….it’s in Palma de Mallorca!
How can you not want to come back here every time you have the chance?!

The only thing I don’t really like is the huuuuuge airport. After 2 flights, believe me, you don’t want to walk that much!

We decided to change our normal hotel with a small boutique in the old town. It was beautiful! We had a whole floor just for us. It was like our own private house. The original high ceilings with intricate wooden carvings and original floors were a dream to see. Since this was a very busy month for me, I decided to make the most of every free day. So instead of traveling back to Romania for just one day we stayed and went on a sailing trip!

 

 

We woke up early in the morning and prepared everything for this trip. Food, drinks and of course, bathing suits!

The boys were excited to learn a little bit about sailing. Using only the force of the wind to move forward is a way of moving in connection with nature. It is an amazing feeling…
We spend some incredible hours on the boat! Soaking up the sunrays, swimming, snorkeling, reading, drinking, laughing and listening to spanish music.

Our skipper sailed us to a beautiful golf with clear blue water for the sunset. Such a sensory satisfaction gazing at the sunset while on a boat! Even better going to swim in the warm water enjoying the beauty of it!

One small tip from me: a real must is taking a short nap while sailing. The smooth swaying makes it real confortable to fall asleep and you feel like a baby in a swing.

None of us got seasick, even though the boat was swaying constantly, but after 8 hours of sailing, we were exhausted.
I went to sleep satisfied and happy!

See you soon, Mallorca! See you soon, Titos!

FADE AWAY IN AMSTERDAM

“Sometimes I feel like giving up, but YOU’re the reason, that I’m not leavin’…”
#fadeaway #samfelt #lushandsimon  #amsterdam #ZIGGODome
Promo tour for “Gimme Gimme” and “Fade Away” (my new collaboration with Sam Felt and Lush&Simon) in beautiful Amsterdam!
Had so much fun singing with them at Ziggo Dome! This song has a really good vibe!
You can listen to it here!
Just a couple of days before this, we shot the official video for the song in Barcelona! It’s out and just in case you missed it, I’ll leave you the link right here! Hope you’ll enjoy it!

 

As for the rest of the days, promoting the song we’ve been to SLAM, 538 and FunX. They are so professional and nice, it’s always a pleasure coming here!

 

 

We had only a few hours free during the last day.
I must say this: Amsterdam, I love you!
The lights on the bridges, the flower market, the coffeeshops, parks and churches, museums, the brick buildings, open skyline, rich history and especially, the relaxed easygoing attitude towards life of the people living there are more then enough to fall in love with the place!
The city is tied to the water. It grew around its canals of the Amstel river. Amsterdam is also known as “Venice of the North” and the reason is obvious. The canals are soooo incredible!
And, for the grand finale,  we took the time to try a local beer :)))

#ElleRomania #HuaweiP10Plus #stylishinwhite

August 22, 2017

First time in the history of Elle Romania (maybe even the whole network of Elle International) when the cover and all the pictures are made not with a professional photo camera but with a mobile phone! …at least that’s what Roxana Voloseniuc, editor in chief for Elle Romania, my friend and stylist said 😉
 Sooo happy to be part of this concept! The phone is practically the most used tool or gadget (however you wanna call it) that you need to communicate on your social networks. It’s what I use.  I’m on my phone everyday, connected with my fans, answering mails and even writing this blog!
Not sure if you already know this but one of my passions is taking pictures with my phone. Whenever I’m out with the girls, they ask for new pictures for their insta! They say I’m the best photographer 🙂
That’s why, doing a cover magazine, even more, the whole photoshoot with a smartphone camera seemed perfectly natural to me. Huawei P10 Plus with his Leica Camera was the perfect choice and the end result as you can see is worthy of our standards!
I just love these pictures! They have a stylish summer vibe that makes me think about what perfect white outfit I’m going to wear on my next holiday. …or at least while I shoot something new on the streets of Barcelona  😉
Thanks to: Sorin Stratulat (Beauty District), Make-up and Beauty Studio, Domnica Margescu, Dan Beleiu, ELLE team & Global Records!
