September 13, 2024—Today, rising artist Zoe Ko unveils a new song, “Kiss My (Ah);” listen/share HERE and watch/share an official video HERE. “Kiss My (Ah)” is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. It’s catchy, sassy, and gets the point across in one sentence. It represents my clap back to my mean girl feud in high school but also the attitude I now live by because of that experience and because of growing up in NYC. On my debut EP last year, I started telling the story of my mean girl growing up but never really finished the story and said my peace. So, a lot of “Kiss My (Ah)” is about that and how it basically forced me to choose to either curl up into a sad ball or strut down the street like a runway model not caring what anyone thought. Similarly, NYC taught me to do whatever the hell I want cause literally who cares what anyone thinks about it. If you don’t like me, you can kiss my ass. My biggest references for this song were “Hella Good” by No Doubt and “Gimme More” by Britney Spears! Every time I listen to this song or perform it, I feel a little more confident after,” – Zoe Ko
Ko is currently on the road supporting UPSAHL on an extensive North American tour through October 15, which includes stops in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Atlanta, Austin, Seattle and more. Complete list of dates below and tickets/more info HERE. Born and raised in New York City, the singer-songwriter released her debut EP Baby Teeth last fall to widespread praise. Popdust praises that the EP, “consists of five tracks to give you the perfect sampling of who Zoe Ko is as an artist—honest, funny, and edgy,” while Earmilk details, “With each captivating production offering a unique glimpse into Zoe Ko's musical and personal evolution, the introspective yet vibrant EP offers us a sonic world steeped in healing and confidence as she beckons her audience to unleash their emotions, explore their innermost desires, and join her on this voyage of self-discovery.”
She followed up the EP with new singles “EAT / DIRT” and “Touch Therapy” earlier this year, which landed on a host of notable playlists as well as the cover of Spotify’s “Young & Free” and “SALT” playlists. Ko was also highlighted in Spotify’s “Fresh Finds Class of 2022” and Apple Music’s “New in Alternative,” amongst others.
Ko’s music highlights the female experience and explores themes of authenticity and empowerment, combining electric guitar, strong vocals and blending elements of classic rock.
Further new music from Ko is imminent.
