Sangina Sharipova, better known as SANGINA, has unveiled her newest creation, ‘My Motherland’, a deeply moving single that strikes a chord with anyone who has ever left their homeland in pursuit of their dreams. SANGINA skillfully merges her Kazakh heritage with Western influences, blending traditional motifs with modern pop, blues, and world music, resulting in a unique and evocative sound.
With an impressive background that includes performing on renowned stages and appearing on shows such as X-Factor and The Voice, SANGINA brings a wealth of experience to her music. Born in Kazakhstan to a Kazakh father and an Uzbek mother, and now residing in Los Angeles, her music is a rich fusion of Eastern and Western influences. Her powerful, soulful voice and thought-provoking themes of self-discovery, love, homeland, and identity, create a profound connection with her audience.
The release is a sincere homage to SANGINA's homeland, imbued with love and nostalgia. It expresses the deep connection she feels with her place of origin, which continues to shape her identity wherever she goes. SANGINA's multi-cultural background shines through as she seamlessly blends her Kazakh roots with Western styles, maintaining an enduring bond with her homeland.
SANGINA's captivating voice is a masterclass in cultural fusion. She effortlessly commands the bluesy current with her riffs, runs, slides, rasps, vibratos, and movements, creating a vocal tapestry rich in detail. A surge of powerful vocal harmonies and a smooth key switch at the song's climax elevate it to another level.
The music itself is equally impressive. It complements the vocals, starting softly and gradually building in intensity. The instrumental arrangement features a blend of guitar tones that constantly shift dynamics, underpinned by a tight, snappy beat with shimmering hi-hats and cymbals.
Lyrically, SANGINA speaks directly to her motherland, expressing its profound significance to her. It is more than just a place; it is an integral part of her being, deeply ingrained in her heart and soul. She reflects on how she can still feel connected to it by simply closing her eyes, demonstrating that her bond transcends physical distance.
She reminisces about comforting summer nights that bring her peace and happiness, strengthening her emotional connection to her homeland. The chorus reveals the depth of her longing, expressing a yearning for everything about her homeland that is difficult to articulate. The bridge, sung in Kazakh, adds a personal touch as SANGINA sings about drinking from her homeland's springs and seeking comfort through her song, illustrating how music bridges the gap between her and her home.
‘My Motherland’ is a touching tribute to SANGINA's love and longing for her home. “For those who have moved away from their homes, the feelings of displacement, nostalgia, and dual identity are so powerful. Through this song, I hope to support and connect with those who are building new lives abroad while carrying their homeland with them,” she explains.
