CMU Approved
Approved: Zoee
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 27 March 2017
Following guest vocal spots for Redlight and 30s, Zoee – the alter ego of musician Harriet Pittard – first emerged as a solo artist in her own right last year with ‘Insecure (7, 8, 9)’. The track set out her stall for inviting but slightly off centre pop. Its video went a long way in setting the tone for her work too, with Pittard filmed from a fixed camera looking down on her in the street from a distance.
Next, she gained further ground releasing another single, ‘Betcha’, through Ryan Hemsworth’s Secret Songs label, followed this year by a collaboration with fellow lo-fi pop upstarts The Rhythm Method, ‘Cruel’.
Now she’s back again with new single, ‘1-2-1’, of which she says: “‘1-2-1’ is inspired by my fascination with serial monogamy, moving from relationship to relationship in quick succession. I feel the need to be wanted can sometimes override the need to be loved. That need is reflected in the manic arpeggios and voice-in-your head backing vocals”.
