J Hacha De Zola: Bad Decisions
 |
“Recording this cover, I realized how truly amazing of a singer Ariana Grande is,” says Rahway, New Jersey-based musician J Hacha De Zola. “She can sing her butt off.” Of course, Hacha De Zola brings a decidedly unique take to the tune, premiered via cover song website, Cover Me. “I’m not much of a singer, I’m probably more of a crooner,” he says.
His style has been called “baroque pop,” “avant indie,” “boozegaze,” and “urban junkyard” – imaginative descriptions that turn out to be pretty on point. “I really wanted to see if I could cover, or more accurately, ‘re-make’ a pop tune and have it sound like me,” Hacha De Zola says “I connected with the slightly dark connotations that could be drawn from it. It’s also in the “dark” key of E minor.” |
Ultimately, the song is pretty unrecognizable from its original version until it hits the chorus. “At that point, I hope the listener says, ‘Holy shit, this is an Ariana Grande cover?!’”
J Hacha De Zola’s latest full length (and second of 2016), Picaro Obscuro was released last month. [via Fanatic Promotion]
