XV
The “XV” project emerged from a unique storm of sounds. It became not only an artistic retrospection of Justyna Steczkowska, but also her intimate vivisection – a look into the depths of her own artistic soul. The album includes the most famous songs, representing all the years of artistic work so far. Thanks to the cooperation with such talented producers as GP MIMOFONI, Agim Dzeljilji, Michał Bshosa Brzozowski & Easy Audio, Digit All Love, BiPolar Bears and Agnieszka Lach, these hits have gained a completely new sound design.
The “XV” project, although it is a summary of the achievements of fifteen years of Steczkowska’s creative work, is far from the traditional “best of”. Justyna, immersing herself in the dimension of alternative sounds, decided to guide the listeners on the path of her musical explorations. Thanks to this openness – she managed to give listeners an album full of mystery, magic and sensitivity.
The project was complemented by a completely new artistic creation, soaked in mysticism and accompanying symbolism. Together with Justyna, a young and extremely sensitive artist – Michał Pańszczyk – was responsible for the visual side of the project. It was with him that the artist managed to create a beautiful, almost oneiric world.
“XV” is also a very intimate immersion in one’s own musical roots. The album – even a few years after its premiere – not only asks the questions: Who was she? Is? Who will Justyna Steczkowska be? It also brings answers that are hidden under the magic of sounds.
