New Music First! Zola Jesus
August 23rd, 2010
Zola Jesus is the alter ego of 21 year old singer/songwriter Nika Roza Danilova; a classically trained former opera singer who specialises in haunting ethereal pop. Zola’s sound is somewhere midpoint between Florence & The Machine and Fever Ray – who invited the singer to support her forthcoming European Tour.
Her latest track, ‘Night’, opens with eerie synths and hushed vocals before giving way to a hypnotic beat backed by the singers haunting tones. It’s an intriguing track that puts Zola Jesus leagues ahead of most other 80’s obsessed female singer songwriters. For more info and tour dates head to her MySpace.
Night’ is taken from her recent ‘Stridulum II’ EP, currently available from iTunes.
