LEYLA ROMANOVA
THE ONE UNCODED is a deeply personal track. I was 11 when I first watched “The Matrix” – and my world turned upside down. I realized nothing was impossible – that boundaries existed only in the mind. And indeed, throughout my childhood and youth, I kept “erasing” them… until 2012 came – a single “event” knocked me off course, made me stop believing in myself. I kept living, but as if on autopilot – half-asleep, shrouded in a thick veil of "normality." Then, just recently, it was as if someone shook me awake with the words: “What the hell took you so long?..” That same evening, I felt drawn to rewatch “The Matrix 4” – and déjà vu struck – there it was, the exact same dialogue. It’s surreal, of course, to feel such a connection to characters and events of a fictional film… But the most important thing is that I finally felt alive again – and I wrote this track. P.S. Huge thanks to the gorgeous Baku-based singer Elnarə Xəlilova for her magical vocals.
