Auckland based singer-songwriter Zoe\u0308 Vera today releases her new catchy pop tune Dizzying<\/em>, the third single off her upcoming five-track EP Live Harder<\/em>, due out Friday 24th April.<\/p>\n

Listen Here<\/a><\/p>\n

Following hot on the heels of her previous Live Harder<\/em> single releases Good Enough<\/em><\/a> and Twelve Feet Under<\/em><\/a>, latest stand-out track Dizzying<\/em>\u00a0captures the emotional tension between both wanting and fearing love. A reflection of the courage it takes to open your heart when faced with the thrill of a new, exciting connection, while feeling paralysed by past relationships and unhealed wounds.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, Dizzying<\/em>\u00a0is about being fearless and open to the thrill of experiencing love again, even though you\u2019re still nursing raw, residual pain. It\u2019s an emotional tug-of-war when you\u2019re feeling swept up in something new, but still wary due to past lessons\u201d, says Zo\u00eb.<\/p>\n

A widely relatable track, Dizzying<\/em>\u00a0masterfully pairs a vibrant, upbeat melody with sharp moments of introspective tension. Known for her lyrical honesty, raw vulnerability and emotive vocals, it\u2019s through her music that Zo\u00eb cathartically explores themes of resilience, identity and growth.<\/p>\n

Her soon to be released EP, Live Harder<\/em>, produced by highly respected, multi-talented musician Danny McCrum, delves into her experience with trauma and the journey of rebuilding her life, which allows her to draw on a profound well of strength and survival to inform her lyricism.<\/p>\n

Zo\u00eb is set to further build on the widespread radio and industry acclaim received to date from previous tracks which have already received international and local airplay on numerous radio stations, including a highly coveted debut interview with powerhouse broadcaster The Hits.<\/p>\n

With a sound that leans into musicality, sophistication and creative substance setting her apart from predictable pop genre conventions, Zo\u00eb Vera is an exciting new presence on the New Zealand music scene, and has quickly become an artist to watch.<\/p>\n

Wrap your ears around Dizzying<\/em>\u00a0now, and look out for Live Harder<\/em> this April!<\/p>\n
