RAFFAELLA ZAGO “Zoso” is released, the new single from the nu-soul talent made in Italy (Listen to the song)

Music news

Zoso is the new single, the third, by Raffaella Zago. The song anticipates the release, scheduled for April, of the talented artist’s first album.

“Zoso” is a nu-soul love song and the title recalls the well-known symbol designed by Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin) because the person to whom the song is dedicated had it tattooed on his arm.

This is how Raffaella Zago explains the genesis of the piece:

Zoso was born during an afternoon session in my producer’s studio together with my guitarist.
The song is a dedication of love to my boyfriend in which I tell a little about our story and describe how I feel when I’m with him. The musical production has Afro influences thanks to the presence of percussion but, more generally, it sounds 100% nu-soul, with very light but intense singing.”
