Nina Stark's "natura" is a captivating journey through the seasons, released on October 20, 2023, under her independent label, Nina Stark Music. This 38-minute album is a testament to Stark's ability to weave nature's essence into her music, creating a soundscape that is both intimate and expansive. The album features ten tracks, each named after natural phenomena or seasons, reflecting Stark's deep connection with the environment.

The album's centerpiece, "huset," was released as a single earlier in the year and serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to our surroundings. "husk mig" and "barn af efterår" further explore themes of memory and change, leading into the reflective "natteregn" and the closing track, "vintertid."
