A-SIDE OF DOUBLE SINGLE WITH BUZZ TRACK “DIRT

NEWLY SIGNED WITH 

BIG LOUD ROCK DOUBLE DOWN 11

 

U.S. TOUR DATES UNDERWAY

Earlier this year, energetic and cheeky pop-rock songstress, Zoe Ko, unveiled “DIRT,” her first release with Big Loud Rock (the alt-rock imprint of Big Loud Records), in partnership with Double Down 11.

DIRT” is the B-side of a punchy, power-packed double single now ready for full consumption, as Zoe has just released the A-side, “EAT,” which was co-written and produced by Jonny Shorr (UPSAHL, Catie Turner, GAYLE).

“I wrote this song with Jonny right after I moved to Los Angeles from New York City,” shares Zoe.

“It was a culture shock to say the least. I missed my best friends and our crazy nights out, and the shameless confidence the city infused into me. My friends and I would always use some variation of the word ‘eat’ as slang. Like after a wild girls’ night out we might say, ‘We totally ate tonight!’ I wanted to write a song about going out, getting crazy, and dancing all night. I hope this song ends up on every hot girl dance playlist out there.”

EAT” perfectly encapsulates what has made Zoe a musical force to be reckoned with – fierce energy, flirtatious charm, and a desire to authentically highlight the female experience.

The video for “EAT” finds Zoe at a classically snooty dinner party.

“In the video, I’ve had enough stuffiness and decide to bring some energy to the party. I end up crawling on the table and starting a food fight. Eventually, you see the guests decide to let loose.”

"2024 is the year of serving, giving, and working,” adds Zoe. “But not in the w-o-r-k way and more the w-e-r-k way, the hot way. Like when a baddie walks by you on the street and your jaw drops kind of way. Confidence is in. Strutting is in. Being the hottest most powerful bad-ass version of yourself is in. Not giving a single f*ck about what others think is in. EATING is in.” 

Raised in New York City, Zoe has a distinct style to go with her confident attitude. Driven by electric guitar and powerful, bold vocals, her music resonates with the spirit of a new era while paying homage to the iconic sounds of the past. Infusing every track with infectious energy, she pulls in new listeners like a magnet, turning them into devoted fans ready to hit the dance floor.

Last November, Zoe released her EP Baby Teeth, which featured a succession of acclaimed singles like “Rib Cage,” “Petri Dish” and “Pink Noise.” Her release of "DIRT" followed earlier this year, and also to critical acclaim. Zoe’s DSP Placements for "DIRT" included and are not limited to: Apple Music's New In Alternative, Spotify's young & free (COVER, #1), salt (#3), DOPE AF (#4), teen beats, New Noise, and the New Alt, and Vevo's Incoming Alt (#5).

 

Currently, Zoe is supporting Games We Play on a national tour.
