Interview with Natasha
1. Can you introduce yourselves and tell us how Natasha was formed?
• Hello, we’re Natasha, a four-member alternative rock band! Natasha is the leader who came up with the idea of Kim Seokju’s song.
2. What’s the story behind choosing the name “Natasha” for your band?
• The name “Natasha” was coined by vocalist Kim Seokju, who was inspired by the Korean poet Baek Seok’s poem “Me and Natasha and the White Donkey.”
3. Tell us about your debut single “Obsession.” What inspired the song?
• The debut single, “Obsession,” is Natasha’s own love song. Kim Seokju, the vocalist who created the song, had the idea of incomplete, immature love in a distorted form rather than a simple, straightforward love and wanted to express that through the song.
4. How does “Obsession” represent your style or the direction you’re taking as a band?
• I think it’s the most Natasha-like song made by four people from different music worlds. The direction as a band may vary from band to band, but I think a “band” is a team in which the members work together to create new sounds, and this is the direction Natasha should go.
5. Was there a specific moment or experience that led to the creation of this song?
• I don’t have any special experiences or moments, but I think my antipathy to the common love song I always had inspired me to make this song.
6. What do you want your listeners to feel or take away when they hear “Obsession”?
• I hope you guys can feel the confusion, obsession, the hectic feeling, and the sound of running away.
7. How did you all come together to create the sound of “Obsession”?
• Vocalist Seokju’s demo was accompanied by their own musical contributions, which resulted in the creation of this sound.
8. Do you have a specific process when writing or recording music as a band?
• I don’t know what other bands are going to be like, but we’re particularly concerned about how this song will look on the live stage, and how this song will have an organic impact on other songs.
9. Are there any other artists or genres that influence your music?
• Vocalist Kim Seokju was greatly influenced by Japanese rock music and Romantic & Impressionist classical music, bassist Yun Byeongjun was also influenced by Japanese rock music, drummer Min Taejun was influenced by hip-hop, and guitarist Koo Hyeonwoo was influenced by Western music.
10. What has the reception been like from your fans so far?
• Thankfully, we are receiving a lot of love compared to our period of activity. We will work hard to repay your love.
11. How do you feel about performing live, and do you have any memorable live experiences?
• Live performances are always fun. I’m trying to save every live, rather than remembering it in particular.
This is a great interview about the band Natasha, it sounds like music I want to listen to. Thanks for sharing!
