We’re thrilled to premiere “Matrix,” the stunning new release from Ukrainian singer-songwriter Natisa Gogol, exclusively on Music Crowns. Available now on all major streaming platforms, “Matrix” is more than a single — it’s a bold emotional statement that invites listeners to peel back the layers of illusion and reclaim their authentic selves.
Rooted in Gogol’s personal journey of awakening and self-discovery, “Matrix” blends raw lyricism with an evocative, piano-led arrangement — even weaving in fragments from Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu. The result is a track that resonates on both an emotional and philosophical level, confronting listeners with a powerful question: “Are you truly living your own life, or merely following a script written by someone else?”
“This song was born from a time of deep inner questioning,” Gogol reveals. “I felt surrounded by artificiality — like I was stuck in a reality that wasn’t mine. Writing ‘Matrix’ became an act of liberation.”
Using the metaphor of the Matrix not just as a pop culture reference but as a symbol of modern-day systems that control, numb, and mislead, Gogol crafts a sonic space for reflection and resistance. The song’s progression — from isolation and unrest to clarity and personal resolve — is underscored by stirring lines like “I won’t be one more cog in the machine” and “Love is the way.”
With “Matrix,” Gogol also enters a new artistic chapter. Performing every piano part herself, she fuses contemporary sound with classical influence, bringing a unique emotional intensity to the track. The inclusion of Chopin isn’t just musical — it’s thematic, echoing the timeless yearning for freedom and truth.
An accompanying music video directed by Farid Alijanov is set to follow, offering a visually compelling one-woman performance that mirrors the emotional depth and tension of the song.
Natisa Gogol’s “Matrix” is a wake-up call in musical form — haunting, heartfelt, and entirely unforgettable.
