A song that channels the human desire for change and renewal through the metaphor of desiring a new car, VÉ/ZÉ‘s latest single is a conceptually sound piece of indie pop that will get you deep in thought and bobbing your head.
VÉ/ZÉ is the stage name of Hungarian artist Zoltan Varga, based in the city of Mogyorod. An artist and songwriter, VÉ/ZÉ employed the help of the stellar vocal tract of fellow Hungarian singer Radi Nora, utilizing her rich and deep tenor voice to deliver a showstopping vocal part that drives this largely singer-songwriter affair.
This is not the first collaboration between the pair, and the solid musical foundation that supports Varga and Nora is easy to witness on their latest single ‘New Car’. A simplistic composition affair that makes use of its straightforward and battering rhythm, alongside the direct and driving chord changes, to create a song with a superb flow. Steady, strong, and reliable.
Melodic and powerful, Radi Nora’s soaring vocals are capable and engaging, and the seemingly freeform nature of her flowing melodies make the vocals even more immersive. Dreaming about a new car has never felt like that before. Likening the desire for a new car to the desire of escaping a frustrating or suffocating present seems natural, yet I’ve never heard it before. Particularly not with as much intent and purpose as on VÉ/ZÉ’s latest single
