New Music Spotlight: Zella Day

June 1, 2015 8:44 PM ,

I am always on the prowl for new music and I’m in love with this artist’s sound.

In the recent issue of NYLON magazine, the artist Zella Day was mentioned. I personally have never heard of her but I decided to look her up (mostly because her name was adorable and I was on the hunt for fresh tunes).

  She’s a 20-year-old American artist who only recently got some popularity. One of her songs was on the Insurgent soundtrack (I haven’t seen the movie but I can see how her haunting voice would be perfect for the film).

I listened and I was not disappointed! She sounds like mix of Daughter, Marina & The Diamonds and Birdy. If you don’t know who those lovely female artists are, I definitely recommend looking them up!

My favorites so far are “East of Eden” and “1965”, but her new record “KICKER” comes out tomorrow. I’m super excited.

 What artist have you been loving recently?

Ahem.

Let me give you some backstory: My friend and I got general admission floor tickets to see ED SHEERAN (aka King of Everything Musical) just this past week. It was in Forest Hills stadium in Queens. “General admission won’t be bad,” we said. “It’ll be fine.” Nope.

We did not know the stadium was outdoors, first of all, nor did we realize how hot it would be outside. Ed was amazing but, as usual, concertgoers are ruthless humans and you too must be ruthless in the dog eat dog world that is general admission concerts. This is it, folks. Here is how to survive a general admission concert.
