Zoë Phillips is “Numb”.
Drawing from experiences within mental health, “Numb” acts as an antidote in which the pairing of direct lyricism and striking vocals creates a sound that is both soothing and instant. Featuring atmospheric guitar soundscapes, and supported by production from gold and platinum record songwriter and producer Jack Gourlay, this emerging sound could be compared to the likes of Billie Marten and Lucy Rose.
This is the first of a collection of new songs inspired by Zoë Phillips recent solo travelling trip across the world, with further single releases in the run up to a forthcoming 2020 EP. With previous features across BBC Introducing, BBC R1 and BBC Radio 6 music, Zoë’s vocals have also been primetime playlisted on MTV Dance. Track “Learn To Swim” reached the iTunes top 50 singer songwriter chart and a remix of Zoë’s original song “Boat” has clocked up over half a million Spotify plays.
Live performances include the Rabbit Hole stage at Glastonbury Festival, Sofar Sounds and a recent support slot to Hannah Grace at the ‘Never Fade Records’ showcase (Gabrielle Aplin’s label). Drawing from a background of learning as many instruments as possible, and saving for a drum kit at the age of 10, the pathway into Zoë’s songwriting was inevitably unswerving. The transition between these multi-instrumental roles into a vocalist could be considered through the pairing of instrumental soundscapes underneath the raw, haunting vocals highlighted in “Numb”.
