‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division

  ‘The Journey’ - The Octopus Division In ‘The Journey,’ a sonic mosaic unfolds that—permeated by neon-soaked synth pads and a melody that feels like memory—is less a song than a spiritual compass. The time that relentlessly pursues us, according to ‘Time keeps chasing us every day’, is not portrayed as an enemy, but as a constant touchstone that we face with our heads held high: ‘ We won't let the rain wash us away’ . Photography, here metaphorically as a key to the past, opens doors to moments that seem long gone but live on within us. The chorus – a kind of collective mantra – describes not just a journey, but an intertwining of stories that support each other. The garden in which hopes take root becomes a symbol of what must be nurtured in order to flourish. And when ‘ our songs have lost a note or two ’, it is not a flaw, but proof of lived depth. A song that is not meant to be heard, but to be lived through – like a familiar glance at an old photo album by candlelight. b...

Q&A Today with Judith (Last Release: "It takes two")

Judith

..., chanteuse, lyrical artisan and composer, channels the zeitgeist of her era. She is a raconteur, a weaver of narratives that echo in the souls of her listeners. Fueled by a fervent passion for the arts and a relentless pursuit of self-expression, she stands at the precipice of a luminous journey through the pop music firmament. 
With her extraordinary voice, she creates a unique timbre and resonates with the distinct clarity of an artist destined for greatness. Her artistic prowess is unmistakable—a fact evidenced by the resounding success of her first three singles. 
We’ve had the delightful opportunity to engage with her and delve into a series of inquiries. Discover the intriguing insights for yourself!


Whence did your ardour for music originate, and what are the principal influences that shape your musical style and identity?

My entire childhood was cradled in a diverse musical universe. Later, I found myself particularly drawn to two very different artists: Michael Jackson and Amy Winehouse, who resonated with my personality. Around the age of 11, I began writing my first poems, which allowed me to find a form of freedom, an outlet, and to develop my creativity.


Your creativity spans a multitude of genres. From whence do you derive your inspiration?

Uncommonly, my inspirations for creating music aren't necessarily related to other singers. I draw a lot from the atmospheres of actors, movies, TV series, and even some video games. Due to my synesthesia, my inspirations can extend beyond that, like colors, smells, or even numbers.

Presently, you are engaged in the creation of your EP. What might we anticipate from it?

Each composition in this EP is designed with a distinct and original universe, ranging from a rawer style to deeper lyrics and melodies. It embodies my true authenticity and fully reflects my personality. I hope it will captivate listeners and resonate with their inner experiences.

Could you elucidate some of the challenges encountered during the composition of a song, and how do you address them?

To achieve the best possible result, it is essential to be in good conditions, allowing one's mind to be free without pressure or blockages.

Do you have any plans to perform live on stage?

Yes, it is part of my plans.

Beyond the realm of music, what are the matters that hold the greatest significance for you?

The world is suffering, and the planet is in poor condition. The topics closest to my heart are the planet, sick children, and animal welfare.

What are the next steps for you, and what are your goals as an artist in 2024?

The next project will be the release of my EP "One Way" with eight tracks, including three singles already released, working with a label, and collaborating with other artists.
