Natasha Bai - Soldier of Love EP (2023) Hi Res

Natasha Bai returns to Ransom Note Records for her second outing as she unveils captivating new record, Soldier of Love EP. The follow up to her breakthrough on R$N, Transsib EP, Natasha has brought to bear a mesmerising record that touches on Acid, Electro and early Trance music.

Four of the tracks were written around a year ago when Natasha was experiencing a lot of fear, hate, desperation and depression. But living it through music-making helped her to recover and accept that the world (especially her country) are not the way she wants them to be. Music helped her to keep living life, no matter what, and she promised to not spread hate, but love, which is the essence Soldier Of Love EP.

In Natasha’s own words; “Sun & Sky is about the beautiful world around and the joy of life that I started feeling again, but also about armed people who try to steal that joy from us with their stupid bombs. Outlaw was written in the summer of 2019 during the protests in Moscow and the lyrics are exactly what cops say to the protesters: 'Your meeting is not allowed, your actions are outlawed' and then start beating and arresting them. Two Words explores the fear that 'they are coming for me', fear of speaking out and about the indifferent people, whom I saw as zombies in some weird movie.”

The EP is an immersive musical experience for listeners worldwide and showcases Natasha’s exceptional talent and unique artistic vision. With her delicate vocals and heartfelt songwriting, she effortlessly weaves a tapestry of emo-ons, coloured by her personal experience of Russia’s human rights viola-ons. Her melodic arrangements, intricate harmonies and heartfelt lyrics create a sonic landscape that is both introspective and uplifting. Each track on "Soldier of Love" showcases Natasha Bai's versatility as an artist, captivating listeners with her compelling storytelling.
