Tatiana Shmayluk has started writing lyrics for Jinjer’s upcoming album

Lately Tatiana Shmailyuk, lead singer of the progressive metal band Jinjer from Ukraine, has revealed some new information on Jinjer’s upcoming album. In an interview on the latest episode of Knotfest’s “She’s With The Band” on YouTube, the singer talked about her struggles on writing lyrics for the band’s next album. A few months ago, she told the German magazine Metal Hammer how she will suffer with the songwriting this year.

“There’s 99 problems that I have to resolve right now – taxes, personal stuff. I honestly can’t find the inspiration to write.” Tatiana Shmailyuk, singer of Jinjer

Now she revealed that she started just recently started writing for Jinjer’s next album, but is still so behind with it.

“When the deadline’s coming, and everybody knows that — I’ve been talking, like, every single time we release a new album, I say that, I say this — deadlines push me. So I just have to write, so I get this stream of consciousness, basically. I write down whatever the bullshit is in my head. And then you build it. At least you have to have bricks to build a poem or whatever it is, just lyrics.” Tatiana Shmailyuk, singer of Jinjer

The singer also revealed some new information on how the new Jinjer album will sound like. This follow-up album after the band’s 2021 album “Wallflowers”, is in any case set to be different than their latest album.

“It’s gonna be different, first of all, because I feel that the music differs a lot. And to my mind, the whole — I won’t say how many songs are there; I guess 12 or even 15; let’s say 13; I don’t remember — but they all have… not all of them, but half of them, at least, they have a similarity in them. They’re similar to each other or they remind me. They have this concept within — without any lyrics, they still sound like they belong to one box. They are a set of songs. And I already think about all the… I’m not even thinking about like the lyrics — I think about the topics and stuff, but I think about the booklet or the cover or even the music videos and what I’m gonna wear there. And it has a certain flavor to me that… I feel like it has this flavor of 19th century. It’s very romanticism from the 19th century. If you listen to it, you will think, ‘Oh.’ You know, when you listen to MUSE, you feel he was inspired by a lot of classical composers — obviously. So our new music has this flavor. And I’m so excited.”
