Hailing from New York City, the 22-year-old Zoe Ko has released her new single Rib Cage. The track follows Zoe’s recent hits like “Petri Dish” and “Fire Escape”.

In this track, Zoe delves into the theme of homesickness, not for a physical house but for a person who becomes a comforting presence akin to home. Having experienced frequent relocations and the upheaval of divorce as a child, Zoe associated the feeling of being homesick with individuals she cherished. Now, with a partner in her life, she explores the process of finding a home in someone else and how it has helped her reconcile with her past.

Zoe’s journey into music began as a source of solace during her childhood. Writing a song for her late grandfather and performing it at his funeral marked the turning point where she began channeling her life’s experiences into music. After years of exploration, particularly during the isolation of the pandemic, Zoe honed her craft and discovered her unique sound, influenced by artists like Gwen Stefani, Paramore, and Wet Leg.

Her debut single, “Line,” quickly garnered attention, making it onto Spotify editorial playlists, and she has since seen success with several other releases, earning spots on coveted playlists like Spotify’s New Music Friday and Fresh Finds.

Amelie Jat has just released her latest single, “2028,” which features 80’s-inspired synths and dancey four-on-the-floor drums. This marks a departure from her usual pop-punk style, where she drew inspiration from artists like Avril Lavigne, Maggie Lindemann, and LØLØ. With “2028,” Jat presents a more layered and emotionally rich sound, moving away from the simple 2000’s throwback.

The sparkling production on “2028” is the work of James McMillan, a long-time collaborator and Emmy-nominated producer, with whom she previously worked on successful hits like “my band hates you!,” “Therapy,” and “Faking Parties.” Together, they created a  sound that complemented Jat’s diary-like lyrics and ability to craft cutting phrases.

Born and raised in Hong Kong, Amelie Jat began her musical journey with bedroom pop production and has now transitioned into the pop-punk universe, influenced by artists such as Maggie Lindemann, Avril Lavigne, and LØLØ. As a multi-instrumentalist, she started songwriting at  11, and she has since become a verified artist with the hope of connecting with people through her music. CONTINUE READING
