A teasing, hot summer song, "Dumb Stuff" by Zoe Twist relishes in being unattainable because what's sexier than what you can't have? Twist leans into a confident sensuality that's lyrically flirtatious and snappy. The singer has all the fun making jokes at the expense of her wannabe fling. She teases, "If it were goin' your way, you'd take me back to your place...And yeah, the wine cellar's big, but that's the only big thing. Pinch you, you must be dreamin'" The song's innuendos and dreamy sound create a staple summer song that conjures up whimsical images of dancing all night, night swimming, and kissing strangers. Twist taps into what's just out of reach in someone's fantasy, creating her resonant single "Dumb Stuff."
Airy Lofi-style synths and Twist's effervescent vocal tone guide the sensual, sultry style of "Dumb Stuff." Twist notes that inspiration for her style comes from artists like Sabrina Carpenter, who writes sexy banter and fun pop. Twist makes the song entirely her own, turning to heavy synth-based alternative/indie pop instrumentals. This single is bold and fresh melding the singer's smooth sound together with punchy, confident lyrics. Owning her sexuality as a woman is a vital pillar of Twist's gritty and daring songwriting. Twist isn't waiting to speak. Her music takes control, compelling listeners to embrace themselves in the same way.
Zoe Twist hails from Vancouver, Canada. Going on to attend school at Berklee College of Music, Twist has known that she wanted to pursue music seriously. Her debut EP "Dumb Stuff" dropped on June 13th blending unapologetically sensual lyrics with sultry melodies. Evoking colorful, confident, liberated emotions, Twist's music will have you dancing in the bathroom mirror, skinnydipping after dark, and asking out your crush this summer. She has amassed almost 13,000 monthly listeners on Spotify only first releasing music in 2024 and will continue to grow. Witty and maybe a little wicked, Twist's discography will set your summer on fire.
