LOS ANGELES, CA-

“… In a well-booked prelude to KiNG MALA’s headlining act, the stage was graced by the captivating presence of Zoe Ko, a beacon of the New York City alt-pop realm. Her recent release, “Baby Teeth,” dropped on November 3, 2023, stands as a testament to her burgeoning artistry. Witnessing Zoe Ko live was an initiation into her world – a world where her EP isn’t just a collection of tracks but a poignant narrative woven with the threads of pop and rock. The EP delves into the complexities of modern youth, tackling themes like past trauma, bad habits, and insecurities with a raw honesty that’s as refreshing as it is relatable, especially to those navigating their twenties. It’s a heady mix of pop-punk angst and introspective lyricism.

Zoe Ko’s performance was an electrifying experience. She commandeered the stage with an aura that was both formidable and enchantingly raw. There’s something about her – perhaps it’s that quintessential New York edge or her fusion of heartfelt, emotive lyrics with rhythms that pulse with alt-pop vitality. These elements coalesce to echo the quintessence of youthful vitality and introspection. Zoe has an innate ability to forge a connection with her audience, making every song feel like a shared experience. Her energy isn’t just palpable; it’s transformative, leaving an indelible mark on the audience. For a first-time listener like me, her performance wasn’t just enjoyable; it was a revelation, a vivid showcase of an artist who I feel truly embodies the spirit of her city and her generation…”
