Zola Courtney's Heartwarming Single "California": Love, Doubt, and Admiration.
A poetic journey through bookend moments after a breakup.
Credible British Songwriter Zola Courtney shares an incredibly heartswelling moment and single called “California.” With vocals and writing that swoon, It’s a song fitting for an epic movie montage where flashing memories turn into poetic music between that post break-up ‘what have I done’ and the affirmation phases.
Speaking about the song, Zola explains “California was written in the early stages, during the ‘what have I done’ phase of the breakup. I kept thinking about specific moments in the relationship that had meant a huge amount to me.”
“I did a writing trip to California when I was 19 and had a really awful time. My boyfriend at the time flew out to be with me and I’m still so grateful he did that. That was near the beginning of our relationship and New York was the last place we visited together. The song talks about these bookend moments, as well as feelings of doubt and regret, but also care and admiration for him and all the things we did together.”
Zola Courtney today returns to releasing music after playing extensive shows across the county since her last single. The last single from her debut EP “Nothing To Lose” saw the talented Cornwall native garner widespread support from BBC Radio 1 specialist DJs, and was later added to their playlist and onto their One Big Weekend festival line-up.
