Ты где-то рядом.
Мне лучше не знать.
Найдёшь меня взглядом,
Я не смогу убежать.
Твой запах заводит,
Берёт меня в плен.
Когда все уснут,
Я приеду к тебе.
Я приеду к тебе (х2)
Молчишь, но скучаешь
Достаточно дней.
Я чувствую боль,
Я вижу - ты с ней.
Я здесь умираю.
Почему-почему
Всё, что мне нужно, -
Только твой поцелуй?
Только твой поцелуй (х2)
Твой запах заводит (x2)
Translation:
You are somewhere near me.
It’s better for me to not know.
You’ll find me with a look,
I can’t run away.
Your smell turns me on,
Takes me prisoner.
When everybody fell asleep,
I’ll come to you.
I’ll come to you (х2)
You’re keeping silent, but missing
Many days.
I feel pain,
I see you with her.
I’m dying here.
Why-why
All I need
Is just your kiss?
Just your kiss (х2)
Your smell turns me on (x2)
Просто скажи, что есть только я (x6)
Translation:
Just say there is only me (x6)
about
Ransom Note Records present new signing Natasha Bai, with her debut EP ‘Transsib’; an oneiric voyage through the world of the Russian DJ, musician, producer and vocalist.
“Transsib, short for ‘Trans-Siberian Railway’ is the 9000 km of railroad that connects Moscow with Vladivostok on the Russian Far East. The building of the Transsib Railway helped the founding of my hometown many years ago; Novosibirsk. It’s 50 hours by train from Novosibirsk to Moscow and during this time little life happens” - Natasha Bai
Promoter of the legendary Siberian group «Сто Своих» in the early 2010’s, Natasha Bai now lives in Moscow and plays at the likes of Simachev Bar and tours Russia with «ДК Детка» (‘de-ka-detka’). She is also an NTS, Kiosk Radio, Test FM and Gop Tun regular guest and has released two EPs under her ambient-pop alter ego; Altai Princess. Her debut EP on Ransom Note Records features four track blending genres and imaginary worlds.
Opening track ‘Romantiko’ welcomes skitty beats alongside poppy vocal snippets summoning electro kicks; engaging sonic distortion and synth melodies. “It’s like a bright sunny morning when you wake up happy”.
Title track ‘Transsib’ is a stand-out on the EP for its proggy-trance inflection and ethereal synth keys, mimicking “the sounds of a moving train.” A genre-bending frenzy and a rapturing refrain recall the sound of inertia.
‘Your Kiss’ is inspired by “unhappy love, which happens especially when you’re young.” Expect acid euphoria and eagerness for love and lust, where Natashas’s vocals address the subject of romantic distress.
Closing track ‘Just Say’ is “a little intervention” from her alias Altai Princess, whose music focuses on the outer reaches of ambient-pop. The track notches the tempo down in Altai territory, with the kicks atop the longing lyrics “just say there is only me”.
Transsib EP is a symbol of growth, of “moving through life and moving towards your dreams. From my hometown to the city of my dreams, from my first steps in music to my first EP, from childhood through youth to adulthood. It’s a never-ending journey.”
