Following on from the success of her most recent EP ‘Do You Mind?’ which landed on top Spotify curated playlists and saw her sell out iconic San Fran venue in Wellington, New Zealand, Zoe Jennings swapped beaches for the city life of London to further pursue her music. A year on, Zoe is back with her second new single ‘Cruel World’ out May 17th after she spent time in the studio with Kevin Andersson (Sarah Klang) in Sweden.

Zoe Jennings (formerly known as ZÖ) debuted her first EP in 2019 which showcased her powerful vocals and emotive lyricism which set the stage for the authentic and personal music she’s known for.

‘Cruel World‘ was recorded live in studio in Gothenburg, Sweden, done in one take with Kevin on guitar and Zoe on vocals. She wanted it to sound raw, imperfect and minimal to go with the context of the song. “I know it’s a cruel world / but you don’t need to be / anyone / or anything / cos nothing really matters.” It’s a song to remind everyone that there is nothing required of you to be considered somebody. You are good just as you are, and you don’t need to prove it.
