We’ve been fortunate over time to hear a number of Donna Zed’s compositions, but never have he had the opportunity to check out the live side of things. On her latest video, Zed is able to showcase a bit more of her inimitable spirit through the lens of live performance. At first blush, what listeners will find is that Zed is able to hit the same highs and lows that are captured in her recorded music. Furthermore, on this iteration of Cursed, Zed is able to weave a cogent narrative while bolstering the overall instrumentation (pianos/drums) that prop her voice up. What results with Cursed is something that refreshes the 1990s pop and alternative music genres, making each utterance current and contemporary while tremendously reverent to the music that has preceded it.
We’ve had the opportunity to check out Donna Zed’s Surrounding Me and Morphine EP over the course of the last few years.
