With Matrix, Gogol doesn’t just reference the legendary sci-fi film — she taps into its symbolic power. Like the movie, the song explores the invisible systems that shape our lives and identities. But here, the escape isn’t into a digital illusion — it’s a return to the self, to clarity, to love.
Chopin Meets the Matrix
Right from the start, the song announces its ambition: the intro features fragments of Chopin’s Fantaisie-Impromptu. A declaration. By weaving in this Romantic masterpiece, she builds a bridge between classical music and contemporary protest, between timeless beauty and present-day urgency.
From Reflection to Release
Once the beat drops, Matrix transforms. Synths pulse, the rhythm intensifies, and Gogol’s voice soars — commanding, emotional, irresistible. It’s danceable, yes. But it also uplifts. The message is clear: freedom isn’t escapism, it’s embodiment. And love, not control, is the way through.
One-Woman Revolution
The music video, directed by Farid Alijanov, captures that evolution. A one-woman show, it visually echoes the inner struggle and final liberation at the heart of the track. Raw, rich, and symbolic, it mirrors the music’s layered depth.
