When an artist undergoes a true metamorphosis, the transition is rarely silent. It is a tectonic shift, a recalibration of soul and sound that demands to be heard. Ineska Winter, the multifaceted Polish vocalist, dancer, and visionary, has officially signaled the arrival of her most potent era yet. With the release of her latest single, “DejaVu Bez Snu”, launched on December 19, 2025, she hasn’t just returned to the spotlight; she has redesigned it.
The track arrives as a masterclass in “club couture”—a term that perfectly encapsulates Ineska Winter’s intersection of high-fashion aesthetics and subterranean electronic pulses. Produced by the Grammy Award nominated Jakub Liszko, known for his stellar contributions to Usher’s acclaimed album “Coming Home”, the single carries an undeniable international pedigree. Liszko provides a sleek, titanium-strength foundation of future pop and R&B, allowing Ineska Winter to navigate complex emotional landscapes without ever losing the beat.
“DejaVu Bez Snu” is a fascinating study in musical oxymorons. On the surface, it is a high-octane banger designed for the strobe-lit floors of a New Year’s Eve gala or the dust-swept plains of the Burning Man festival. Yet, beneath the expansive synthesizers and the driving club energy lies a poignant, deeply personal narrative of psychological liberation.
The song explores the exhausting cycle of a toxic relationship—the titular “déjà vu” where the same patterns of manipulation and abandonment repeat until the concept of “rest” becomes a foreign memory. Ineska Winter uses her sensual, breathy vocals to illustrate the magnetic pull of a partner whose “eyes lie better than their voice.” There is an exquisite tension in the production; the “cold as ice” touch mentioned in the lyrics is mirrored by the sharp, metallic synth stabs, while the “fire” of the emotional trap is felt in the heat of the bassline.
Lyrically, the track is a brave excavation of the “vicious cycle.” Ineska Winter does not shy away from the darker aspects of human attraction—the way we often return to what burns us simply because the intensity feels like a distorted version of life. The song brilliantly dissects the anatomy of a lie. The narrator acknowledges the empty “tomorrow will be different” rhetoric, yet admits to a visceral, almost addictive pull toward the chaos. It is a rare moment of honesty in pop music: admitting that sometimes we stay in the fire because we aren’t yet ready for the cold.
As the track progresses, the “mask” of the partner begins to crumble. The bridge serves as the emotional apex, where the realization that “this isn’t love” transforms from a whisper into a rhythmic manifesto. The lack of sleep in the title suggests a state of hyper-vigilance. By the final chorus, the energy shifts from being a victim of the cycle to being the one who breaks it. It is no longer a lament; it is a declaration of survival. Through this lens, “DejaVu Bez Snu” becomes more than a dance track. It is a roadmap for anyone finding the courage to exit a “loop” of their own, delivered with the authenticity of an artist who has lived through the fire and emerged with her spirit intact.
The maturity displayed in “DejaVu Bez Snu” is the result of a lifelong dedication to the craft. Ineska Winter’s journey began in the humble settings of church choirs and school bands, but her trajectory has been anything but ordinary. Her rigorous training at the Municipal Cultural Center in Sieradz and the prestigious Egurrola Dance Studio (founded by the legendary Agustin Egurrola) has instilled in her a kinetic stage presence that most pop stars spend decades trying to emulate.
Her vocal prowess is equally deliberate, honed under the tutelage of industry heavyweights like Maciej Moszyński and Agnieszka Szewczyk, veterans of The Voice of Poland and Idol. When you combine this technical excellence with her background as a fashion model – including titles like Miss Zduńska Wola 2013 and reaching the finals of Miss Polonia 2015 – you get an artist who understands that the visual is just as vital as the auditory.
Ineska Winter describes her musical identity as one that “matures slowly, like wine.” After a period of intentional silence to gain perspective, she has returned with a sound that is bolder and more conscious. She is no longer just a performer; she is an architect of atmosphere. Her aesthetic, heavily influenced by the radical self-expression and futuristic grit of Burning Man, ensures that her live shows are multi-sensory spectacles.
As “DejaVu Bez Snu” continues to climb the charts and dominate New Year’s playlists, it is clear that Ineska Winter has successfully bridged the gap between the domestic Polish scene and the global future pop landscape. She is an artist who refuses to pretend, turning the “light and dark” of her own life into a universal language of rhythm and resilience. In a world of fleeting trends, Ineska Winter is a permanent fixture – a dancer who found her voice and a woman who reclaimed her power.
In this exclusive 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.

- HitOnIndie: “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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
- HitOnIndie: 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.
