The gloomy new release showcases the unique charm and guile of the young singer-songwriter.
On her powerful and instantly moving new single ‘Dashboard’, Zoe Bayani explores the realities of life living in the South of the United States, and the way that religion and superstition seem to dictate the lives and choices of the people that surround her, much to her chagrin.
There is a really poignant and immersive feel to the artist’s writing and the sense of dread and hopelessness that latches onto her laid-back delivery, making for a track that is steeped in gravity and weight, but also a certain melancholy charm. The thoughtful nature of the sound makes for a truly captivating listening experience throughout, with Zoe’s soft charisma providing the sound with a real sense of character and charm that feels distinctive and new. ‘Dashboard’ is a track that is steeped in nihilism and existential dread throughout, but the more interesting nuances of the sound and the rousing way that it builds to a cathartic and endearing sonic climax keep it light and poetic enough to provide it with a lasting sense of charm.
