Lyrics...
Talking about the lyrics Zoe says – “It felt like everyone around me was in the worst relationships ever and I couldn’t understand who would continue to stay with someone that they fought with 24/7. You’re clearly just incompatible! ‘Tough Lover’ is about putting myself in the shoes of my friends and family who are in shitty relationships that aren’t going anywhere”

Produced by Auckland’s Joel Jones, the track features a lo-fi ambient soundscape with driving percussion floating in Reverb. Zoe’s vocals float over the track with her backing vocals laying the foundations for her story, the track has hints of artists like Lana Del Ray and Billie Eilish
Summary...
This is a great track from Zoe both sonically and lyrically, showcasing her attention to detail and intentions to create industry standard music straight from the go, with 2024 still new I hope to see more releases from Zoe and some live shows
