The American Southwest has found its musical crown jewel in bohemian songstress Zella Day. Raised in a small mountain town in Navajo County, Arizona, Day’s versatile sound has been stylistically created with an evident “Wild West” and Native American influence, mixed with a modern sound that hints at an ability to easily make it in the big city. Slightly pop, slightly noir, and completely fascinating, Zella Day is one of those artists who never does the same thing twice.
There is no doubt you’ll want to click play (and hit repeat) on any of her albums and songs, but the track we’ve chosen to share this week is the bubbly and slow-burning “Girls,” from her latest album Sunday In Heaven. “Girls” immediately pulls the listener in with fuzzy guitar lines and hypnotic drums that are paired with a contrasting relatively low-key mellotron buzz and of course, Day’s sultry, sexy vocals.
According to Far Out Magazine, Day has this to say about the “Girls” track:
“‘Girls’ is a mentality or an embodiment of feminine spirit available to all through the communication of self-expression. To be beautiful, sensual, feminine is not exclusive to one’s sex but a universal power that all humans can experience. This song is a celebration and an invitation to be GIRLS.”
