AGNIS - I Am The Light
Polish mystical dark pop artist AGNIS unveils her ethereal, yet haunting new single and visuals I Am The Light thru darkTunes Music Group EU and joins dark electro and industrial/metal music acts such as OmniMar, Dust In Mind, C Z A R I N A and Toal in the German-French group’s roster. AGNIS (which means “pure” in Nordic, “to share” in Latin, and also the name of the Indian God of Fire) is the project of Agnieszka Leśna - a seasoned electronic music veteran and former front woman of the metal/industrial band DESDEMONA, which was a regular at renowned music festivals such as M'era Luna (Germany), Made Of Metal (Czech Republic) and Castle Party (Poland). AGNIS decided to start her own solo project after her brief stint in playing with bands and released I Am The Light as her first single - a fitting reflection of her own growth and transformation from darkness to light and calling listeners to do the same. Her music video reflects the duality of her single, showing a woman dressed in black dancing in harsh, abstract movements which AGNIS descibes as “the dance of the darkside” over ominous piano riffs and haunting vocals.
“The darkness knows she must let the light rule now but she fights, she wants to go into the light but it hurts,” AGNIS explains. “ When I was editing the video I saw a part where I was standing with my hands crossed on my chest, I knew I know the symbol that came out that way. I checked it and… Wow! It was the rune DEGAZ which means ‘TRANSFORMATION FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT!’ Pure magic!”
The video then reveals the “light side” - AGNIS now shown dressed in all white, in delicate and effervescent dance and quiet, peaceful oneness with nature and her surroundings.
All shot during the pandemic, AGNIS worked on the video in isolation with her husband, using the Baltic Sea, its surrounding flora and dramatic sunset as backdrop. The power couple captured the track’s lucid magic in its simple yet boldly atmospheric cinematography and gorgeous dance sequences. Her debut single and visuals offer merely a taste of who AGNIS is and she is an exciting rising artist to watch!
