For pop music fans who are looking to hit the refresh button in hopes of finding a new voice to rally behind, look no further then Lolo Zouaï. The French-American artist garnered praise from both critics and listeners for her debut album ‘High Highs to Low Lows’, and considering she’s also inked a deal with RCA Records, the best has likely yet to come.
Zouaï’s album serves as an emotional rollercoaster that’s part auto-biographical and part sample-platter to get listeners accustomed to her sound. “Caffeine” offers one of the record’s most straightforward pop moments, coming across as a club-ready hit wrapped in layers of Zouaï’s elusive vocals and carefully arranged trap production by Stelios Phili. The music video for “Caffeine” feeds off the dizzying allure of the song, as director Nathalie Canguilhem utilizes fast cuts and swift camerawork to showcase Zouaï in her element. It’s a change of scenery from the DIY, vintage visuals that Zouaï has released in the past, but her charisma and authenticity still come across even with the added production value.
