Her musical journey could have been very different, though, with both her parents being classical musicians. \u201cI think a part of me resisted, on one hand, my parents, but also their world and that very narrow frame that classical music is to begin with,\u201d she reasons now. \u201cYou\u2019re not supposed to stretch out your arms and be like, \u2018Here\u2019s me and my signature,\u2019 you know? But I wanted to do that immediately, so I was so frustrated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Instead of classical symphonies, it was the discovery of early <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/tag\/edm\">EDM<\/a> \u2013 its colour and brashness \u2013 that she recalls inspiring her initially. \u201cThat\u2019s a space that I think my parents would never understand,\u201d she grins.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Lindg\u00e5rd is preparing to release her debut album \u2018Dreamer+\u2019, which features collaborations with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/blood-orange\">Blood Orange<\/a>, BEA1991 and <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/artists\/yune-pinku\">Yun\u00e8 Pinku<\/a>. \u201cOriginally, I didn\u2019t want to have features, almost as a principle of \u2018this is my debut album, and it\u2019s me and not anyone else\u2019,\u201d she explains. \u201cBut then I was becoming more and more frustrated with not being finished, and it felt like those tracks needed something that I, myself, couldn\u2019t imagine.
