Zoe Wees – whom Billboard named as “One To Watch” – explains, “This is a song about losing someone you really love and feel close to. It’s dedicated to my great-grandmother, who sadly passed away. She was such a strong woman and the funniest person I knew, and I can still feel her great energy. She is my inspiration and I know she is still here.”

‘Golden Wings’ captures Wees knack for making her complex, emotional stories feel universally relatable.On “Control,” her raw, powerful debut single, Wees confronts the emotional scars that resulted from her childhood struggle with benign rolandic epilepsy, a traumatic, isolating condition that can cause severe seizures.She performed the song on “The Late Late Show with James Corden” in January 2021, making her U.S. television debut. ‘Control’ became a worldwide hit and entered the top 20 at Pop radio in the U.S.

“Each of the songs are autobiographical and very special to me. In a way‚ the EP was written as personal therapy, with each track helping tackle my own mental health,” she says. “In regard to my great-grandmother, my mom told me the one who leave are looking down at us with golden wings, so that’s why I called my EP Golden Wings. When I think of golden wings, I have to think of the way my great-grandmother is looking down at me from above.”
