I got really excited when I was asked to review this song, because I think Zoe Ko has a super fun and unique style of music. And “EAT” may be one of her best yet! “EAT” is a song about loving yourself, “eating”, and “serving”; as Ko herself describes it. I think the lyrics got me into a really fun headspace where I felt super powerful, like I could run the world. I especially like the lyric “Drag my girls and strut the street / Like cold hot killers / Serving dinner / Drop men like accessories.” I think this song has a super sexy vibe to it, that much is evident from some of the song’s first lyrics. I think everyone needs a solid anthem to make them feel empowered and confident. I think “EAT” is a great example.
Right away, I could hear a lot of Gwen Stefani in Ko’s voice. It transported me back to early 2000s pop punk, where artists like Avril Levine truly shined. I also like the almost electric sound this song has. I can tell a lot of production work went into making this song, so I think it sounds great. I also noticed that Ko has a super raspy voice, she tends to draw out the ends of each verse. And honestly, I think it works well in the context of this song. I vibed with it fairly easily.
I’ve heard a few of Zoe Ko’s songs before, but haven’t really connected with one as I did with “EAT”. So, if you haven’t enjoyed listening to her music yet, I hope you all start today!
