艺人资料
美国女歌手Zella Day。代表作《1965》,《East of Eden》,《Compass》,《Hypnotic》。
在从出道至今的时间里,Zella Day尝试了通过各种不同的音乐表达自己,于是很多人想当然地以为,她就是一个不会自己创作歌曲的只是单纯怀有音乐梦想的女孩。“当你作为一位年轻女孩走进一间房子的时候,你被期待的就是拥有一副好嗓音,但那就是你所能做到的一切了。”Zella Day说,“你被期望的情况是,你不应该自己给自己写歌,而是把写歌这件事全部交给你的音乐制作人。”而她并不认同这样看起来很普遍的观念。其实,她从小就会自己写歌,自己还会弹吉他把自己的歌弹唱出来,简简单单,不加特效。作为新兴一代的流行歌手,Zella Day并不太符合人们对新歌手的传统印象,因为她的音乐受到了乡村音乐和古典摇滚音乐家的影响,这一点与其他年轻流行音乐歌手大不相同。
2015年6月29日,Zella Day发行了自己的第二张录音室专辑Kicker。
2015年,Zella Day的歌曲Sacrifice成为电影《分歧者2:绝地反击》的电影配乐。
2016年发行EP《Hypnotic》。
