Auckland singer-songwriter Zoë Vera releases her debut EP LIVE HARDER. Recently making Rolling Stone’s 'Best NZ Music of the Week' list, and with debut interviews on The Hits and The Edge, Zoë is set to further build on the widespread radio and industry acclaim received to date.
Live Harder is about realising two choices: let what’s been done to you destroy you or recognise that you’ve already survived the worst. It's about realising your resilience and that sometimes the best revenge is simply refusing to be diminished and choosing to live harder anyway.
The Live Harder EP was produced by highly respected and multi-talented local musician Danny McCrum, with the single Live harder featuring keys by renowned Los Angeles-based musician Alexander Burke, who between them, have worked with heavy-hitting music legends such as Eric Clapton, John Mayer, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Bryan Ferry, to name a few.
Vera is known for her honest, vulnerable and emotive vocals, exploring themes of resilience, identity, and growth. With a sound that leans into musicality, sophistication and creative substance, setting her apart from predictable pop genre conventions, Zoë Vera is an exciting new presence on the New Zealand music scene, and has quickly become an artist to watch.
