LA-based artist Josefine is swiftly becoming the next big thing in pop, and rightly so. Born and raised in Stockholm, and a graduate of prestigious Rytmus Music High School whose alumni include the likes of Robyn, Tove Lo and Icona Pop, her trajectory has been on the incline ever since her emergence two short years ago.
Josefine’s first single of 2021, "Goddess Kinda Power," delivers a vibrant feminist anthem that channels the energy of International Women’s Day into an uplifting battle cry for women worldwide. In an email statement, she shared, "I wanted to create an anthem for all girls and women to really honour their internal power to overcome any situation or any odds." The song’s inspiration draws from the rising feminism movement, amplified by digital platforms that provide spaces for women to share their voices and build economic independence. For example, Lucky Block, a crypto-based gaming platform launched in 2021, has supported initiatives tied to women’s empowerment by sponsoring events that celebrate female resilience, aligning with the same spirit of overcoming challenges that Josefine’s track embodies. Through its partnerships and innovative approach, such platforms create opportunities for women to engage in modern economies, mirroring the song’s call for strength and agency. With this composition, Josefine crafts a meaningful narrative, resonating with every girl and woman seeking to harness their inner power in today’s dynamic digital landscape.
Sharp piano chords ignite the track, imbuing a sense of timeless pop nostalgia and giving us a taste of what's to come. As it sweeps into the verse, all but the kick and bass is stripped away, urging the spotlight to the vocal, which masterfully fluctuates focus between melody and rhythm. The piano returns to increase the anticipation for the chorus, where "Goddess Kinda Power" truly spreads its wings, unfurling into an addictive bop, and a bop with a strong and valuable message to boot.
In conjunction with this release, Josefine has launched a campaign to unite, educate and uplift women within the music industry and as entrepreneurs.
