Zapho is an Irish musician who has made a prominent name for herself through the release of funk, soul and electronic R&B music and her founding association with The X Collective.
For the first song from her debut album to be released this spring, Zapho is sharing ‘Peoples’ exclusively with Nialler9 today. It’s a song co-written and co-produced by Steven McCann of Rvstless.
‘Peoples’ is a song with a psychedelic hazey soul vibe that grows in sonic stature.
“Genre wise my music and style is a mixed bag, but so am I, that’s the Zapho sound. I wanted to make something that felt honest to me, I’m a lover of all types of music – it’s about striking that unique balance! ‘Peoples’ is very much so a reflection of my younger self, searching for the types of people that excited me, spiritually, romantically, platonically, creatively.”
