Los Angeles singer-songwriter zzzahara releases new single "Get Out Of L.A."
Los Angeles singer-songwriter zzzahara is looking to depart from their hometown with "Get Out Of L.A."
Released today, the single comes with a music video directed by Cole Santiago. zzzahara said this about the new song:
“‘get out of la’ is my representation about my frustrations with growing up and living in Los Angeles. Different walks of life coming in and out of the city all year long. People discovering themselves and going full survival mode to get to where they want to be. Some of those people become lost and forget who they are, often burning bridges and shoving their way to the top. I think I just got annoyed with all that noise and wanted to be surrounded by people who are genuine and chill. I got tired of dating people who constantly compared themselves to everyone here when the secret sauce is to be your own unique self. I guess re-inventing yourself could be cool, but just make sure you’re doing it for the right reasons and not hurting others.
‘get out of la’ was written in Collin Davis’ (Ynes Mon) bedroom. He produced the track and I wrote the lyrics/vocal melody. I think it was a pivotal moment in both of our songwriting skills because we had been writing tracks together for about a year before we started on ‘get out of la’ so the musical chemistry was all there. I also phoned up my friend Dillon Olmedo to play bass on the track. He absolutely killed the bass line. Then phoned up my friend Josh Trevizo who is an amazing jazz drummer. Josh slayed the drums. I’ve played with both of them a bunch over the last few years so it felt right to have them on this amazing track.”
zzzahara will unveil their debut album later this year via Lex Records. "Get Out Of L.A." is out on digital services right now. The artist will perform at Oakland’s Crystal Cavern on June 24 and The Smell in Los Angeles on July 15.
