Ukrainian-born pop singer-songwriter Natisa Gogol possesses a passionate quality that is piercing and bold. She unveils her stunning new single “Wind Of Hope” that takes you on a raw and emotive journey.
The textured ballad highlights mesmerizing vocals floating atop haunting string arrangements. The track starts off delicate and simple then builds into a commanding anthemic chorus. Her robust message of courage and hope inspires us to push through even the darkest of moments. She fiercely sings, "Love will rescue us / Ukraine lives in our heart”. the sentiment could not be more powerful and prevalent. The accompanying video is just as striking as the song itself. Covered in mesh cloth, it symbolizes feeling trapped in a chilling set of circumstances. Fleeing with her son from her home in Kyiv, it took a vast amount of strength to escape that terror. The visuals truly showcase everything she has had to overcome. Giving off a lush Celine Dion aesthetic, her hair beautifully blows in the wind. That could not be more fitting for the title “Wind Of Hope”.
She is highly influenced by icons such as Ella Fitzgerald, Elton John and Barbara Streisand. You can sense that same vibrancy and dedication within each of her releases. Gogol left everything she knew behind, bolting from Ukraine to Prague earlier this year. This latest offering was produced by profound US-born, Prague-based songwriter and musician Gregory Darling. This heart-shattering piece has that same devotion the singer is known for.
