Natalie Gioia & D72 Release “For Our Freedom”

Since the dawn of music-time, songwriters have been writing songs based on their various experiences lived. In light of most recent events there are some subjects that no one should have that much personal knowledge of. The unimaginable has happened to singer Natalie Gioia. These last three months she has been living through the shelling of her native Kyiv.

To help manage her fear, as well as directly assist her homeland, she’s teamed up with German producer D72 (Dirk Wershofen) & Holland’s Black Hole Recordings. The video is shot on the historic old-town streets of Kyiv and showing the indomitable essence of its citizens. A piece of music that will, like Ukraine, withstand all the tests of time.

It scarcely needs saying that Natalie’s words and song on “For Our Freedom” are as heartfelt as they come. That she and D72 have managed to create something so beautiful, transcending the ugliness of war, is a triumph of the human spirit. Framed in the form of a from-daughter-to-mother letter, the “For Our Freedom” title reaches straight to the heart of the matter, as Natalie relates her hopes for Ukraine’s future. “For Our Freedom” is out now on Blackhole Recordings.

All revenues from “For Our Freedom” will be channeled to the Aktion Deutschland Hilft, assisting the relief agency’s humanitarian efforts in Ukraine. More information on Aktion Deutschland Hilft activities in Ukraine can be found here: aktion-deutschland-hilft.de/.
