For Zsela, Big For You is an experimental project that stretches her songwriting outside of her comfort zone. Collaborating with Daniel Aged and Gabe Wax, both disparate, cross-genre producers known for their work with Frank Ocean and Kelela, and Soccer Mommy and The War on D**** respectively, Big For You grounds itself in earthy percussion and low slung bass lines while playing with sinewy pop time signatures. Despite driving a very intentional creative process, when a choice feels immediate, Zsela relinquishes her grip to follow her instincts. As a title, “Big For You” manifested long before any of the tracks came to life. “I was thinking about this yesterday, because I never really have a title first,” says Zsela. “Sometimes they’ll come and I’m like ‘That’s a cool idea, cool concept’, but often it traps me creatively if I stick to it before I know what it is. Sometimes, you can make creative decisions that feel ahead of your time; you learn from what’s inherent in you.” As time progressed, Zsela found herself leaning into writing to discover why it was a worthy title, serendipitously surrendering to what her art was inviting her to be. She says it’s hard to listen to the right voices, be it her own or in the ether. “There’s a lot of content, information, people – making this album took a lot of practising this muscle of listening and trusting.”

Friday.

My personal favorite.

beautiful. am i mistaken or are the joni mitchell vibes strong on moth dance?

met her at a bus stop a long time ago

yeah this one has a nice build up to it.

a solid art pop debut. the first three tracks (the singles) and Brand New were the strongest to me. that explosive "i'm falling DOOOOOWN" refrain on Fire Escape is so memorable.

How was it?

Brand New is great. Really like Still Swing, too

she was suuuuuper chill

that album cover

intrigued at cover

we will be listening
