Montreal rapper Zach Zoya recently impressed at his Osheaga Get Together appearance, and now he's continuing his hot streak with a single called "Start Over."
The song highlights Zoya's soulful signing, rather than his rapping, as he croons lovestruck lines amid a bright, grooving beat produced by Billboard, Ruffsound and Benny Adam.
Zoya said in a statement, "The day that 'Start Over' was written was one of my first sessions working with other songwriters. Up to that point, songwriting had been a very solitary experience for me. It was about locking in by myself and painstakingly writing a story line by line. Having Benny, Ruffsound and Billboard all in the room with me, it became a collaborative effort that I found very refreshing — I got to write as the melodies were being built which forced me to innovate and flow in a different way. Making the songwriting process a conversation as opposed to a monologue is so much more fun."
The single is out through 7ième Ciel/Universal Music Canada. Hear the song below, and also check out an acoustic performance video of the same track.
