I felt that at a time like this year when we’re all feeling so physically disconnected and out of touch with the matrix, I wanted to invite everyone to connect with the natural elements again. Nature purifies us so that we may see the power in chemical affairs alchemy. My understanding of witchcraft and magic has always presented itself in the natural world – in the spiders, the birds, the rainfall and the fire. Honestly, I say f*ck that energy because it’s one of those invisible pillars the white, cis, capitalist, male patriarchy relies upon to thrive. It feels like we as women in the industry are constantly being invited to the party, but not quite being given the opportunities. In beginning to navigate the music industry as a queer woman, I’ve found myself privy to this energy of people always watching me in their peripheral, yet feeling reluctant to support me publicly. Can you tell us more about why it’s important for you to speak on such issues through your own music?ĮL: I feel as though living in a patriarchal society affects all who are involved regardless of whether you identify as a man or a woman. Do you have any plans for this year’s #QuarantineHalloween?ĮL: I will probably drink red wine and dance to Peaches – potentially find a mortal whose blood I can suck regular spooky season behaviour! ĮQ: ‘CURSE 4 U’ speaks to aggressively dismantling the spine-chilling existence of patriarchal control within and without the music industry. I guess all the frustration, tension and pain this year has built up was the initial catalyst to write and record this track, so it feels good to finally let all of that stuff go.ĮQ: Let’s face it, the world is already quite a scary place to be this 2020. I’m feeling even more grateful that I got the opportunity to shoot with Honey JD and fulfil our vision for showcasing my deep connection with the natural world for the tracks accompanying visual in a way, it’s been like healing. Words by Tahirah ThomasĮQ: Hey Eliza! How does it feel to drop the lead single from your next project on Halloween?ĮL: I’m super happy! I’m always grateful when I get to share my art in this way with the internet. For Legzdina, the dispersal of this tracks’ overarching essence is of paramount importance – whether it’s delivered in party, poeticism or protest. EQUATE caught up with Legzdina for an exclusive chat on game day to break down the visuals and visions she’s been cooking up ahead of the release for her spell-binding new track below. Its arrival marks a time when change is on everyone’s mind and a calling for progression is imminent. Canonised through the channelling of the riotous collective voice women have been robbed of for generations. Harnessing aggressive feminine energy on this track, Legzdina is casting lyrical spells which speak to dismantling the ever-evolving confines of patriarchal control. This time around, the rising rap-star is serving up “Curse 4 U” a sexy, spooky, alternative club banger to usher in the roll-out for her up-and-coming sophomore offering. Following the release of her whirlwind debut EP at the top of the year, Eliza Legzdina is back with new music, drawing us further into the sex-positive, LGBTQ+ inclusive universe where her musical expressiveness continues to take shape.
