MASHENKA – “CAN I BE ELECTRIC”
A SPILL EXCLUSIVE VIDEO PREMIERE
Mashenka is a Montreal-based dream-pop artist blending shoegaze textures with cinematic electronic production. Raised between Belarus and Canada, her music reflects that in-between feeling — intimate but expansive, nostalgic yet evolving. She writes songs that feel like lucid dreams.
“Can I Be Electric?” came from a journal entry I wrote during a strange period in university when I was questioning who I was becoming. I remember watching a friend walk into my house and feeling like she was glowing from the inside — she had this warmth and confidence that felt magnetic. I kept asking myself, “Can I be electric like her too?”. The song is also about that moment between childhood and adulthood when you realize you’ve changed and you’re not sure if you’ve lost some of your spark along the way. At the time I was moving through unrequited love and felt disconnected from myself, but writing this song helped me reconnect with a softer, more curious version of who I used to be. For me, “Can i Be Electric?” is about reconnecting with your inner child and longing to feel truly alive again.
