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.
On her first single of the year, “Goddess Kinda Power,” Josefine articulates the ongoing conversation regarding feminism as an empowering and uplifting battlecry. She explains in an email statement, “I wanted to create an anthem for all girls and women to really honour their internal power to overcome any situation or any odds. Inspired by the events of International Women’s Day and a rising feminism movement, this track was a calling for me to speak my truth and really put a composition together with real meaning and direction for every girl and woman listening out there.”
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.
