ZOĒ Shares New Single ‘Tunnel Vision’
ZOĒ is back with her brand-new single ‘Tunnel Vision’ infused with dark, emotional, and moody tones that will capture the listener’s attention from the very first note.
She collaborated with Jack Gourlay to co-write and produce ‘Tunnel Vision’. The basics and lyrics were created in one creative session and then recorded on a separate occasion. ZOĒ typically notes down what she feeling, remembering, and experiencing on that day before a writing session.
The genre-blend of indie-pop and alt-pop on the melancholy production of ‘Tunnel Vision’ features guitar and keyboard. The powerful instrumentation is paired with ZOĒ’s captivating and innocent tonality in her voice to create an emotive experience for the listener.
Her heartfelt lyrics and tone shine a light on human suffering. She makes a pure sound that expresses her essence and mission to help mankind recall their oneness, evoking healing for both her and the listener, developed as a result of her spiritual practice and love of connection and truth. Evolved from her spiritual practice and adoration for truth and connection, ZOĒ is the 2024 one to watch.
On the song, ZOĒ says, “‘Tunnel Vision’ is where mistakes become lessons and self-belief fuels the journey forward. It’s inspired by a car crash I had some years ago, which sent me down the wrong path but it’s about the journey of believing in myself.”
London-based multi-instrumentalist and producer Waz-u returns with his second album, Preludes: Dusk Psalms, set for release on 16 May 2025 via independent label Biodiversity. The 15-track record further refines the artistic depth of his debut, blending electronic textures and classical compositional techniques in an intricate, immersive listening experience.
Ahead of the album release, Waz-u is dropping an exclusive vocal version of ‘Vermillion: G Major’ from the album, accompanied by its original instrumental version. ‘Vermillion’ with Lilyg will be released on 18 April 2025, evoking intimate indie-folk and pop and follows the release of a vocal version of ‘Lament’ with Tom Norrington. ‘The singles are a way to give a voice to the atmosphere of the record and to lyrically encapsulate some of the themes explored,’ explains Waz-u. ‘Lily and Tom are good friends of mine and have both been listening to early iterations of these preludes – it felt right to involve them directly on this record.’
‘Preludes: Dusk Psalms’ marks a new branch of Waz-u’s emerging sound, guided by the duality of tradition and innovation. Combining his musical roots in early ‘90s dub techno and classical music, the album weaves carefully layered synthesizers and electronics to evoke the ambience of sacred music — from the gentle timbres of a choir or an organ to the quiet, open, and reverberating spaces of a church. Also featured throughout the album is experimental musician G9 LUV, who creates textures and drones by bowing his bass guitar, resulting in cello-like sounds. The release follows Waz-u’s 2024 debut LP, Prayer For Dawn, which merged dub, techno, and electronica in an exploration of the ritualistic traditions associated with both organized religion and dance.
Bringing the album’s themes to life, Waz-u will celebrate the release of Preludes: Dusk Psalms with a special performance at Our Holy Redeemer in Clerkenwell, London on 14 May 2025. Set against the church’s resonant acoustics, the event will feature live performance arrangements, including a choir, with further details to be announced soon.
