Review: "Breath Away" - ZADA

Emerging singer-songwriter ZADA leaves listeners breathless with her emotionally resonant and fittingly titled single "Breath Away". Drawing on the "little infinities" of nature, the timeless intricacies of everyday life, ZADA sings a song celebrating the fulfillment and joy of being alive. "Breath Away" is a collaborative gem shared between producers and writers, Chin Injeti, Brian West, and lyricist ZADA, an unstoppable team of creatives who have breathed life into this track. Singing "Pain turns into light if you let it / And I let it," ZADA highlights our freedom of choice: to see the beauty in this oyster of a world, to wholly embrace the "salt, sun, serenity," and to make something special of it all. "Breath Away" shows us how we carry so many little moments in our hearts, and in turn, they become irreplaceable facets of our characters. This sweet, gentle piece is one rooted in gratitude for nature and the people who coexist next to it, reminding us of the simple joys in being human.

This genre-bending track captures all of ZADA's artistic strong suits, allowing listeners to revel in her authenticity and creative soul. From beginning to end, the production of this song really shines. The upbeat drum and digital beats work to maintain the song's fun momentum while anchoring us in its unique rhythm, and the melody is light, yet emotionally striking. In addition to some of the song's core elements, ZADA emerges as a vocal treasure. Perfectly balancing her softness with a rich, earthy tone, ZADA's melodic sound is entrancing. Her effortless projections fit the song's theme of freedom, acceptance, and exploration. All of these elements come together to bring the song's pure meaning to life. "Breath Away" is a one-of-a-kind hit that we can't stop putting on repeat, a single with the power to take our breath away.

ZADA, the multi-talented singer-songwriter based in Whistler, British Columbia, has embedded herself within the modern pop scene with her experimentalist style and creative charm. Blending a rich sound of alternative, soul, jazz, and afrobeat, ZADA trailblazes a style of her very own. She is rooted in her deep admiration for the physical and musical worlds inhabits and pays tribute to nature's essence throughout her discography. "Breath Away" is only the latest of this series of moving, elemental pieces. In 2024, ZADA released her debut album, "Water In The Desert," and collected wide acclaim. Thrust into a vast ocean of recognition from Billboard, BET, SXSW, and many others, ZADA has solidified herself as an alternative force to be reckoned with. Still early in her career, the 21-year-old strives to create a discography as expansive and evolving as the humanity within herself and her listeners.
