Natisa Gogol drops female empowerment anthem "Into The Wild"
Natisa Gogol is a compelling singer/songwriter based in Prague. Her journey to get to where she is today is truly inspiring and is reflected in her stunning dream pop soundscapes through emotional, storytelling lyrics and mesmerising melodies. Having been forced to flee her home in Kyiv upon the outbreak of war in Eastern Europe, Natisa turned her life upside down, determined to continue pursuing her dreams. In the years following, her empowering music has caught the attention of listeners across the globe, as people connect with her story of resilience and hope.
Her latest single “Into The Wild” is a song about female empowerment and how feminine energy rules the world. Natisa speaks about how when a woman releases all of her desires and feelings into the world, miracles happen around her. The track also delves into the primal nature that is within each and every person. The songwriter shares, “This primal nature doesn't imply something immutable, but rather it’s about the passion that lives within us, which cannot be controlled because it is instinctive. The song is about how something within us can sometimes be stronger than us, especially when we love passionately. It suggests that we shouldn't always suppress this, as it brings out certain feelings and emotions. Overall, it's about the passion and fire that exist in relationships, but from a positive perspective—one of pure instinct, not vulgarity.”
Through honest songwriting “Into The Wild” comes to life with Natisa’s passionate vocals which soar over animated synths and a throbbing beat. The dynamic track emits an all-encompassing atmosphere, hypnotising the listener and holding them captive throughout the entire song.
The accompanying music video for “Into The Wild” which was shot in Portugal shows Natisa adorned in red outfits, symbolising wildness and a sense of untamed energy, freedom and intensity. The artist shares, “I wanted to bring this sense of feminine fire and sensuality into the video and express it specifically within the realm of nature, not confined to any enclosed space. So, when we were choosing the location, we were immediately drawn to the idea of wild, untouched nature.”
The stunning visuals were filmed in various locations, ranging from the depths of a forest amidst large green rocks, venturing to the vast ocean shore, where Natisa danced in front of a breathtaking sunset during golden hour, as well as an enchanting moonlit cave. Filmed over two days, the making of the video was no easy feat and the crew faced multiple challenges along the way. From descending down slippery mountains with all their equipment using ropes, to forgetting costumes and navigating crowds on the beachfront, Natisa and her team preserved, ensuring every shot was perfectly captured.
Having garnered hundreds of thousands of streams for her music, as well as acclaim from notable publications includingWonderland Magazine, LADYGUNNandEarmilk, to name a few, Natisa Gogol is proving to be a force to be reckoned with, as we follow her journey from adversity to triumph.
