Zoe Wees celebrates loving yourself whilst sending a message of solidarity to girls in new single Girls Like Us
Zoe Wees is an 18-year-old German singer/songwriter who had a whirlwind 2020 after her first single Control went viral, having been listened to over 300m times worldwide and certified gold in 7 countries.
Zoe’s lyrics in her second single Girls Like Us celebrates loving yourself, whilst sending a message of solidarity to girls feeling the pressures of society and sends a middle finger to impossible beauty standards. We see this attitude in Zoe’s recent viral #girlslikeus TikTok challenge, where Zoe encouraged fans to take off their make-up whilst writing positive words about themselves on the mirror and accepting themselves as they are.

You can pre-order the new album fearless (Taylor’s Version) alongside evermore on vinyl now from Taylor Swift‘s official UK Store.

Imelda May
Made to Love the second single from Imelda May’s upcoming album 11 Past the Hour. Imelda says: “I wrote this song with Tim Bran and Davide Rossi. It’s about love, all love which I believe is worth fighting for. Which is why I asked my friends Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu and Gina Martin to join me on backing vocals as their voices are two of the most inspiring to me! They both fight regularly for justice, equality and love. They too believe we are all made to love. Featuring my great friend Ronnie Wood on guitar. He is one of the finest examples of a person who is a lover of life!!! I hope you love the next little taste of what’s to come for my new album, 11 past the hour.” Pre-order now!
Imelda also appeared on the Graham Norton Show last weekend, alongside Adrian Dunbar! Be sure to watch her performance of Made to Love with Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu and Gina Martin!
