Ineska Winter – “DejaVu Bez Snu”: A Futuristic Dance Manifesto of Liberation

With “DejaVu Bez Snu”, Ineska Winter does far more than return to the stage. She reintroduces herself as an artist who has lived, learned, and transformed. Released on December 19, 2025, the single marks a decisive new chapter in her career: sharper in vision, richer in emotion, and undeniably global in sound. It is a track that pulses with club-ready energy while carrying the emotional weight of personal reckoning, a rare balance that separates fleeting hits from lasting statements.

From the very first seconds, “DejaVu Bez Snu” establishes its sonic identity at the crossroads of pop, electronic music, and atmospheric R&B. The production, handled by Jakub Liszko, brings immediate credibility and international polish. Liszko, nominated for a Grammy Award for his collaboration on Usher’s “Coming Home”, builds a sleek, modern framework of expansive synthesizers, deep bass lines, and a propulsive rhythm that feels equally at home on late-night dance floors, festival stages, or radio playlists welcoming the new year.

Yet the song’s true power lies in its contrast. Beneath its infectious groove lives a story of emotional entrapment and awakening. Lyrically, Ineska Winter explores the exhausting loop of a toxic relationship, one defined by empty promises, emotional coldness, and an almost addictive pull back into familiar pain. The concept of déjà vu becomes a metaphor for emotional cycles that repeat themselves night after night, draining dreams and replacing them with numbness. It is a theme many listeners will recognize instantly, rendered here with striking clarity.

What makes the lyrics resonate is their honesty. The narrator is fully aware of the illusion she is trapped in. She recognizes the masks, the lies, and the self-betrayal involved in returning again and again. Lines evoke magnetism and fire, desire and destruction, capturing the paradox of knowing something is harmful yet feeling irresistibly drawn to it. Importantly, the song does not romanticize this pain. Instead, it exposes it, naming it for what it is: not love, but a trap.

The chorus, one of the song’s most memorable elements, functions both as a hook and a declaration. Its repetition mirrors the emotional loop it describes, but its delivery feels defiant rather than defeated. This is where “DejaVu Bez Snu” transforms from confession into anthem. The message is clear: recognition is the first step toward freedom. Even as the beat invites movement, the words encourage reflection, making the track cathartic in both body and mind.

Vocally, Ineska Winter strikes a compelling balance between sensuality and strength. Her voice glides smoothly over the electronic production, at times cool and controlled, at times emotionally charged. There is no unnecessary excess here. Every phrase feels intentional, supported by subtle harmonies and modern vocal textures that enhance the futuristic aesthetic without overshadowing the human core of the performance. Her delivery reflects maturity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of her own artistic identity.

That identity has been years in the making. Ineska Winter is not a newcomer chasing trends, but a versatile artist shaped by discipline and experience. A vocalist, songwriter, dancer, and fashion model, she began her artistic journey early, singing in a church choir and school bands before honing her skills at the Municipal Cultural Center in Sieradz. Her continued dance training at Egurrola Dance Studio, founded by renowned choreographer Agustin Egurrola, is evident in the physicality and precision of her performances.

Her vocal development, guided by respected teachers such as Maciej Moszyński and Agnieszka Szewczyk, has given her technical control and expressive range. Add to this her background in beauty pageants, including titles and finalist positions at Miss Zduńska Wola 2013, Miss Open Hair 2014, and Miss Polonia 2015, and it becomes clear that stage presence is second nature to her. Rather than existing as separate disciplines, these elements merge seamlessly into a cohesive artistic vision.

That vision is perhaps best described as “club couture.” In Ineska Winter’s world, fashion-runway aesthetics meet club beats, and futuristic visuals echo the radical self-expression associated with Burning Man culture. Her performances are immersive experiences, where choreography, styling, and sound work together to tell a story. “DejaVu Bez Snu” fits perfectly within this framework, sounding like a track that could echo across a desert art installation just as easily as it could dominate a packed urban club.

Crucially, this single also represents a personal turning point. After an intense period of releases and creative exploration, Ineska Winter stepped back to gain perspective and maturity. She has described her artistic growth as something that matures slowly, like wine, and “DejaVu Bez Snu” feels like the result of that patience. It is bolder, more conscious, and more emotionally grounded than her earlier work, signaling an artist fully in control of her direction.

As one of the most intriguing Polish premieres at the end of the year, and a track that quickly found its way onto New Year’s Eve hit lists, “DejaVu Bez Snu” confirms that Ineska Winter is ready for a broader stage. It is not just a song to dance to, but a manifesto of self-worth and resilience, wrapped in a sound that feels undeniably current and internationally relevant. With this release, Ineska Winter does not simply revisit the past. She breaks free from it, inviting listeners to do the same.

In this immersive interview, Ineska takes us behind the scenes of her transformation. From the dust of Burning Man to the precise studio sessions with a world class producer, she reveals how she found the courage to stop being “correct” and started being real.

Tunedloud: “DejaVu Bez Snu” sounds like a turning point in your career. What changed within you to make this “new chapter” possible?

Ineska Winter: This track was not born out of impulse. It came from silence and reflection. I realized that artistic maturity is not about constant action but about the ability to stop, listen to yourself, and figure out what comes next. During my break, I stopped thinking about market expectations and started thinking about the truth. I asked myself if I wanted to be just “correct” or truly authentic. This “new chapter” was only possible once I dared to be uncompromising. “DejaVu Bez Snu” is the moment I stopped being afraid of my own voice, both literally and metaphorically.

Tunedloud: The track is about breaking free from a toxic emotional loop, yet it is very danceable. Why choose club energy instead of melancholy?

Ineska Winter: Because to me, true liberation does not sound sad. It pulses with energy. Melancholy often closes things off, whereas I wanted to open up space. The club beat symbolizes that moment when you regain control over your body, your emotions, and your life. Dance becomes a form of therapy here rather than an escape. I wanted people to be able to dance to a story that is difficult but ends in strength. This is not a song about suffering. It is a song about walking out of it. It is hard to leave a toxic relationship because it is so addictive. However, when you finally get out, you have to celebrate it because it means life is opening up again.

Tunedloud: What does “Déjà vu bez snu” symbolize for you emotionally?

Ineska Winter: “Deja Vu Bez Snu” represents a state of emotional limbo where everything seems familiar but simultaneously exhausting. It is that moment when you keep repeating the same patterns, even though you know how they end and that they are bad for you. The “lack of sleep” signifies a lack of regeneration and a lack of a new beginning. It is an emotional fatigue that stops you from moving forward. It is a trap that is hard to escape despite knowing it is wrong and unhealthy. The title is like a warning. It is a signal that you need to wake up. For me, it symbolizes the decision to break the cycle and reclaim yourself.

Tunedloud: Why was involving your fans in the premiere and the music video so important?

Ineska Winter: Because this song only really comes alive when it connects with people. So many people can identify with it. Plus, my fans are part of my journey as they have seen the moments of searching, the doubt, and the growth. I did not want this breakthrough moment to be locked away in a studio or on a set. I wanted it to happen for real. The energy of the audience gave the story authenticity. It was a shared ritual. It was not just a premiere but an experience. That is exactly how I envision this new era. We are doing it together rather than from a distance.

Tunedloud: Are your concerts a performance, a ritual, or an immersive experience?

Ineska Winter: I identify most with the concept of an immersive experience with elements of a ritual. For me, a concert is not just about recreating songs. It is about going through an emotional story. The lights, movement, fashion, dance, emotions, and sound all form one single organism. I want the audience to not just listen but to feel and participate. There is something primal about it. It is shared energy, transformation, and cleansing. The stage for me is a space for transformation rather than just presentation.

Tunedloud: What aspect of Burning Man culture resonates most with your artistic identity?

Ineska Winter: What resonates most is the freedom to be yourself without filters. Burning Man is a space where you do not have to prove anything. You can simply exist and create. The temporality and intensity of the experiences are also very close to my heart. It is art that happens in the “here and now” without calculation. That world taught me visual and emotional courage. I am bringing that philosophy to the stage by creating moments instead of products.

Tunedloud: What did your collaboration with Jakub Liszko teach you?

Ineska Winter: How to work at the highest level without losing your soul. Jakub showed me just how important detail and consistency of vision are. Every production decision was conscious and never accidental. I learned to think of a track as a holistic experience rather than just a song. This collaboration gave me the feeling that my sound can compete globally. That was incredibly empowering.

Tunedloud: What “flavor notes” have finally appeared in your music?

Ineska Winter: There is a newfound depth and a calmness in the decisions. There are darker tones but also more light. The electronics have become more sensual, and the emotions more distinct. I have stopped rushing and trying to prove myself. The flavor is intense but mature. It does not scream but rather resonates. This is the moment where I feel I truly know who I am as an artist.

Tunedloud: How much of the track is your real life, and how much is artistic transformation?

Ineska Winter: Emotionally, it is a very personal track. It grows out of my experiences and decisions. However, the form is a conscious transformation so that the story can become universal. I am not recounting a specific relationship but an emotional state. Thanks to that, everyone can find themselves in it. Art allows me to process my privacy into something shared. That is exactly where I see its purpose.

Tunedloud: What comes first: sound, movement, or image?

Ineska Winter: I always start with an emotion which then takes the form of sound. When I hear the first sounds, my body reacts on its own so the movement is natural. The image and fashion appear as a consequence of the energy of the track. I think about music spatially and scenically. For me, a song does not exist without a vision. All the elements are born from a single impulse.

Tunedloud: How has dance and body awareness influenced your singing and performances?

Ineska Winter: Dance taught me control but also how to trust my body. I know how to work with breath and tension which directly impacts my vocals. Sometimes it is a tough challenge, especially during major performances, but after a moment everything becomes exactly how I want it to be. Because of this, my performances are cohesive and intense. The body and voice tell the same story. It gives me immense freedom on stage. I cannot imagine performing without dance.

Tunedloud: How do fashion and music fuel each other for you?

Ineska Winter: For me, fashion is the initial emotional message. Before you hear a sound, you see a story. The styling helps me step into the role and the energy of the track. In turn, the music gives the fashion meaning and movement. It is a dialogue where one inspires the other. In “club couture,” it is not about trends. It is about expressing identity.

Tunedloud: How has your relationship with your voice changed?

Ineska Winter: I went from a relationship based on total control to one based on trust. Technique gave me safety, but the real change came when I allowed myself to feel. My voice became more human and less perfect. I stopped being afraid of silence and delicacy. Today I treat my vocals as a tool for truth rather than for showing off. That is a huge change.

Tunedloud: Is dancing to a song born of pain an act of closure or victory?

Ineska Winter: It is an absolute victory. The pain has been processed into something that gives people joy and energy. It is proof that emotions do not have to destroy us. They can strengthen us. Seeing people dance to this song makes me feel the purpose of the entire journey. That is the moment the story stops hurting. All that is left is strength.

Tunedloud: What does female power mean to you in the years 2025 and 2026?

Ineska Winter: Female power is self awareness and being aligned with yourself. It is the ability to say “no” without guilt. It is combining sensitivity with boundaries. In 2025 and 2026, I see femininity as a space of freedom rather than definitions. It is being yourself without explaining yourself. It is the courage to walk your own path.

Tunedloud: What did the break teach you that success would not have?

Ineska Winter: The break taught me silence and patience. Success often drowns out the truth about yourself because you lose yourself in it. Away from the stage, I could see what really matters to me. I learned to trust the process rather than the pressure of time. That break was an investment in quality instead of a loss. Without it, this comeback would not be so conscious.

Tunedloud: Were you afraid of being this honest in your music?

Ineska Winter: Yes, because honesty always carries the risk of rejection. But I was even more afraid of creating something hollow. At a certain point, I realized that wearing masks is more exhausting than the truth. Authenticity became my foundation. If someone does not identify with it, that is okay. This music is for those who feel the same way.

Tunedloud: Do you feel pressure representing Polish pop globally?

Ineska Winter: I do not feel pressure. I feel responsibility. The Polish scene is becoming increasingly bold and diverse. I want to be its modern voice rather than a copy of foreign trends. I think globally, but I do not give up my own identity. That combination creates authenticity. Authenticity always resonates the strongest.

Tunedloud: What should someone understand about you in the first three minutes of the track?

Ineska Winter: That I am a conscious artist who is not afraid of contrasts. That I combine emotion with energy and body with voice. I would want them to feel the truth instead of a pose. I want them to understand that this music is an experience and not background noise. If they stay longer, it means we resonate.

Tunedloud: What can listeners expect next?

Ineska Winter: Even greater intensity and courage. The emotions will be deeper because I am no longer running from the truth. Visually, I am heading toward even more futuristic and sensual worlds. Musically, this is just the beginning of this future pop evolution. This chapter is an opening rather than a finale. The most interesting part is just beginning.
