zekiizo turns vulnerability into voltage on new single 'kiss'

With her latest single 'kiss', zekiizo distills the moment before giving in into something bright, breathless, and unforgettable. The Boston-born, NYC-based artist continues her shapeshifting journey through the fringe edges of pop and electronica, this time offering something that feels at once immediate and untouchable.

Built on shimmering synths and a pulse that feels almost physiological, 'kiss' captures the sensation of leaning in; emotionally, physically, spiritually. There’s a quiet ache beneath the surface tension, but it never spills over. Instead, Zekiizo wraps her vulnerability in magnetic production, allowing restraint to speak louder than chaos.

What sets Zekiizo apart is her ability to make those textures feel like skin. 'kiss' draws you in with atmosphere, subtext, and the kind of melodic decisions that suggest both instinct and intent. It feels small in the way a whispered confession does: intimate, but still very powerful.

At a time when much of alt-pop leans on maximalism, zekiizo chooses minimalism with purpose. 'kiss' is a quiet flex, proof that you don’t need to go big to leave a mark. You just need to tell the truth and set it to a beat that moves like a memory.
